VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a clear trend of improving maintenance. Following the most recent test in November 2025 at 100,665 miles, the transporter passed with no defects recorded. This follows two years of clean results in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the critical mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerance parameters over the last twenty-four months. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per annum. Between the September 2021 test at 45,801 miles and the November 2025 test at 100,665 miles, the vehicle covered over 55,000 miles. This steady usage pattern suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber. The intervals between tests are consistent, reflecting proactive ownership habits. The only noted issue in the recorded history occurred in September 2022 at 57,927 miles, where the nearside front tyre was flagged for being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This specific fault often indicates an alignment issue or worn front suspension bushes. While no further defects have appeared since that date, a buyer should verify the current condition of the front geometry and inspect the suspension control arms for play to ensure the previous wear was addressed. Given the mileage and age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, where Transporters are prone to corrosion. Although the MOT record shows no recent brake or exhaust failures, the buyer should check for binding calipers and inspect the exhaust mounting for any signs of leaks. The clean history over the last three years suggests a well-maintained example, but the high-mileage context necessitates a close look at the drivetrain components and fluid levels.
