2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · BT66 VBO

The vehicle has a clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 2025-12-20 at 132,191 miles resulting in a PASS with no defects recorded. This suggests a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring faults or advisories noted across the past four tests. The mileage pattern is notable for its high annual rate, averaging 14,688 miles per year, which is higher than expected for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage has increased by 2,621 miles per year over the past four tests, indicating a consistent and potentially excessive usage pattern. There are no notable gaps in the MOT record, and the tests have been conducted annually, providing a clear picture of the vehicle's maintenance history. Buyers should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering components, as the MOT record does not indicate any issues with these systems. However, the high mileage and excessive usage pattern suggest that wear on these components may be more pronounced than average. Additionally, the brakes should be inspected, particularly the rear brakes, as the 2023 test at 129,162 miles flagged a binding rear brake condition, which was not repeated in subsequent tests. A thorough examination of the vehicle's underside and wheel arches is also recommended to check for signs of corrosion, as the high mileage and potential for water ingress may have led to structural rust. It is also recommended that buyers inspect the vehicle's tyres, as the MOT record does not indicate any issues with tyre tread depth or wear. However, the fact that the vehicle failed twice on tyre tread in 2021 and 2022 suggests that basic upkeep, such as regular tyre checks, may have been skipped in the past. A visual inspection of the vehicle's exhaust system is also recommended, as the high mileage and excessive usage pattern may have led to wear on this critical component.
