2017 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test result indicates a mechanical regression that requires immediate attention. While it passed its MOT on 23 April 2026 at 39,088 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to an anti-lock braking system warning lamp fault. This suggests an electronic or sensor-related failure developed shortly after the previous test, marking a break from the clean records seen in 2025 and the previous year. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old transporter, averaging approximately 4,343 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage, moving from 32,542 miles in April 2023 to 39,088 miles in April 2026. This pattern of use typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on exposed metal surfaces if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the ABS system to determine if the fault stems from a simple wheel speed sensor, wiring loom, or the more expensive ABS pump module. The 2024 entry at 35,028 miles noted a non-excessive front main oil seal leak; a physical inspection of the engine housing is necessary to ensure this leak has not worsened since the recorded observation. Given the low mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and chassis for corrosion is essential, as these components often age through time regardless regardless of the distance driven.
