2017 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 9 August 2025 at 104,651 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor electrical and lighting issues that appear to have been resolved. The maintenance trend suggests a proactive approach to rectifying minor failures, as seen when the vehicle cleared faults regarding a defective registration plate lamp in September 2023 and a side repeater in September 2022. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. The records show steady usage, moving from 65,842 miles in March 2020 to 104,651 miles by August 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which typically helps prevent moisture buildup in braking systems or seal degradation. The progression from 74,907 miles in August 2021 to 97,644 miles in September 2024 indicates regular, predictable driving patterns. While the recent history is clean, the 2021 test highlighted a failure due to nearside rear tyre tread depth being below the legal limit. Although this is a consumable wear item, a buyer should inspect the current condition of all four tyres and the spare to ensure they meet legal standards. The 2024 advisory regarding a slightly defective offside rear position lamp lens suggests minor cosmetic or impact damage to light housings, so a physical check of all external lighting units and lenses is advisable to ensure they are secure and crack-free. Given the vehicle's mileage and its use as a Transporter, a thorough inspection of the suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, is recommended. Although no structural corrosion or brake binding issues appeared in these specific records, the consistent mileage warrants a check of the brake discs and pads for even wear. The lack of mechanical or structural advisories in the most recent two years of testing is a positive indicator of the vehicle's current condition.
