2017 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in September 2025 at 120,859 miles resulted in an advisory for a worn suspension arm pin or bush on both front sides. While the vehicle maintained clean records between 2022 and 2024, this new entry indicates that the suspension components are beginning to reach their service limit due to high mileage. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-intensity use, averaging approximately 13,400 miles per year over the nine-year period. The vehicle covered 14,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 18,500 miles in the following year. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy usage which places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis components. The failure in September 2022 at 72,306 miles due to a structural tyre failure was rectified immediately, evidenced by the subsequent clean passes. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the bushing wear. Since the tester flagged both front sides, the cost of replacement will be doubled if both arms require attention simultaneously. Given the high mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for thinning and uneven wear and to check the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, as these are common points of failure on Transporters of this age and usage level.
