Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for this 2017
Prioritise verifying the repairs carried out following the September 2025 MOT failure. You should request invoices for the replacement of the nearside rear coil spring and the offside front seat belt. Given the repeated advisories for inner tyre wear recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2025, a professional wheel alignment check is strongly recommended to prevent premature tyre replacement.
Review the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have kept pace with the recent increase in mileage. Negotiate the price based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres, as the most recent pass was achieved with front inner tyres at 4.5mm, which is well above the legal limit but indicates a pattern of uneven wear.
As a 1968cc diesel, fuel costs will be a primary expense, though these engines are generally efficient for the vehicle's size. Annual road tax and insurance will depend on the specific payload and usage profile, but Transporters typically sit in a mid-range insurance group for commercial vehicles.
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than smaller vans, particularly regarding suspension and braking components, as evidenced by the recent need for a new coil spring and brake disc attention. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing, are likely to be between £1,800 and £2,500 depending on annual mileage.
Carefully inspect the front tyres for uneven wear on the inner edges, which has been a recurring theme in the MOT history from 2022 through 2025. Check the nearside rear suspension area to ensure the fractured coil spring was replaced with a quality part and that the suspension is sitting level.
Examine the offside front seat belt for any remaining fraying or damage, as this was a point of failure in September 2025. Additionally, check the condition of the rear brake discs; while they were noted as 'worn, but not excessively' in 2025, they may be nearing the end of their service life.
This grey 2017 Volkswagen Transporter has recorded 79,016 miles. Its MOT history is mostly consistent, though the most recent test in September 2025 resulted in a failure due to a fractured rear coil spring, worn brake discs, and tyre issues. The vehicle has seen a significant increase in annual mileage over the last year, rising from 67,829 to 79,016 miles.
Specific aggregate reliability data is not available for this model, but this individual vehicle has maintained a consistent testing record with mostly wear-and-tear issues.
