2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · C5 KPY

The most recent MOT on 2024-12-21 showed the vehicle passed with 66,000 miles. No defects were recorded, indicating the vehicle met safety standards at that time. This follows a 2022 MOT (56,433 miles) and a 2021 MOT (47,090 miles) that also passed without issues. However, a prior 2021 MOT on 2021-06-02 recorded a failure: the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage fractured, classified as a dangerous defect under 5.3.3 (b) (ii). This suggests a critical structural weakness that would have required immediate repair. The pattern shows a single significant defect in 2021, resolved before the subsequent MOTs. Since then, there have been no recorded defects, implying the issue was addressed and the vehicle has remained compliant. The 2020 MOT was passed, though it benefited from a COVID-19 6-month extension, which may have delayed scrutiny. Overall, the trend since 2021 shows stability, with no new safety-critical faults emerging. The vehicle’s mileage of 66,000 miles at 9 years old equates to roughly 7,333 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
