VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 142,265 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years, as the most recent inspection returned a pass with no recorded defects. While the history shows instances of prior failure, the latest test result suggests that immediate mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently operating within legal safety parameters for road use. At nine years of age, the recorded 142,265 miles reflect an average usage of approximately 15,800 miles per annum. This high mileage indicates consistent commercial or commuter use rather than long periods of standing. The data shows steady mileage accumulation between tests, with 11,686 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 15,567 miles leading up to the February 2026 test. This consistent workload places significant demand on heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension system and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should pay close attention to the failures recorded in February 2024 and February 2025, although the specific defect reasons are not detailed in this summary. Given the high mileage and vehicle type, a physical inspection must focus on the condition of suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, which frequently fatigue under heavy loads. The buyer should also check for signs of brake caliper wear and the structural integrity of the chassis, as high-mileage vans of this era are prone to accelerated corrosion in the mounting points over time.
