VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 2026-02-05 at 84,766 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, indicating a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness status. The previous MOT in 2025 flagged minor issues, including slight play in the front anti-roll bar linkage and a tyre worn close to the legal limit, but these were rectified in time for the latest test. The suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar bushes and ball joints, have shown intermittent minor wear since 2024, requiring replacement or adjustment. The tyre tread condition has been a recurring concern, with two instances of edges wearing thin, suggesting uneven tyre pressure or misalignment that should be checked. Overall, the maintenance pattern shows routine attention to safety-critical areas, though the suspension work indicates ongoing consumable wear. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 9,281 miles annually over its nine-year life, a moderate and typical usage rate that suggests the mechanical components have experienced standard wear rather than excessive strain. The MOT records are relatively sparse, with only five tests over the period, but the latest clean result on 2026-02-05, just four months prior to the current date, confirms the vehicle remains in roadworthy condition. The buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front suspension geometry, checking for alignment and ensuring the anti-roll bar linkages are secure and properly lubricated. Additionally, a thorough visual check of the front tyres for uniform wear and pressure is essential to prevent further edge wear. The exhaust system and corrosion around the chassis should also be examined to ensure no hidden structural damage has developed.
