2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · BO55 STK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in oversight following several years of clean records. In the November 2025 test at 56,907 miles, the tester identified multiple failures, including a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and both rear tyres being close to the legal limit with edge wear. This represents a shift from the previous three years, where the vehicle passed its MOTs without any recorded defects. The' pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 23,337 miles in June 2021 to 56,907 miles in late 2025. While there is a gap of 10,540 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, the overall accumulation is modest. This low mileage suggests the drivetrain and suspension have faced limited stress, though it also means rubber components may age if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front CV boot to ensure no grease has leaked from the drive joint, as a failed boot often leads toages joint failure. The recurring issue of worn rear tyres, noted in both 2021 and 2025, indicates a potential history oflecting basic consumable maintenance or an alignment issue. Inspecting the rear suspension geometry for uneven wear is advisable to confirm if the edge wear reported by the tester is caused by a mechanical fault rather than simple service intervals.
