2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · SJ13 ACH

This Volkswagen Transporter is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 136,723 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The vehicle has covered high mileage for its age, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage is evident between 18 March 2025 and 10 April 2026, where the odometer rose by 13,791 miles in just over a year. The gap between July 2022 and November 2023 shows a similar trend, with 16,170 miles added. Such high utilization typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. The MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage commercial vehicle. The only anomaly occurred on 10 November 2023, where the vehicle failed and passed within five days at 102,084 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for either event. This suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear items that often escape MOT scrutiny until they become critical. Given the 136,723 miles, check for play in the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for any signs of sticking. Because the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, a manual check of the chassis and sills is still advised to ensure the vehicle's long-term structural integrity.
