2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · CX67 KGF

The 2017 Volkswagen Transporter presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 148,009 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since at least 2021. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the available history. Annual mileage averages roughly 16,445 miles, which is high for a nine-year-old van but consistent across the record. The tester logged 75,045 miles on 21 September 2021, 91,158 on 2 September 2022, 110,246 on 19 September 2023, 128,688 on 18 September 2024, and 148,009 on 26 September 2025. Each year added between 17,000 and 19,000 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean sheet at every test suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within limits, though a spotless MOT record at this mileage does not confirm proactive suspension or drivetrain servicing. A buyer should still inspect in person for worn suspension bushes, fatigued coil springs, and corroding brake discs given the high annual use. The absence of advisories means the tester found no exposed structural rust or binding calipers at the last test, but standing moisture and salt exposure on a Transporter of this age can hide early chassis corrosion. Check the exhaust emissions system and turbo plumbing for leaks under load, and verify the cambelt interval against Volkswagen schedule since the MOT does not cover internal drivetrain wear. The van's record implies disciplined statutory upkeep rather than full mechanical refurbishment, so a pre-purchase inspection remains warranted before purchase.
