2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · AE17 XDR

The 2017 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 55,512 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. Mileage has accumulated at a modest rate across the record. The vehicle covered 38,775 miles by 14 April 2022, then 43,139 by 26 April 2023, 47,694 by 23 April 2024, 51,773 by 23 April 2025, and 55,512 by 20 April 2026. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year, below the 6,168 average for its age, suggesting light use. No gaps appear between tests; the owner kept the annual cycle unbroken. The absence of any recorded faults across five years means the MOT history gives no warning on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A clean sheet of this length implies the previous keeper addressed wear before each test rather than letting advisories stack. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the van. Transporter chassis rails and sills suffer internal corrosion even when outer panels look sound, and the MOT record cannot confirm underseal condition. Check the rear brake calipers for free movement after standing miles, and verify tyre sidewall age given the low annual coverage.
