2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DT17 GPY

The 2025‑08‑12 MOT at 95,253 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding 2024‑07‑10 test also passed, though it listed minor advisories such as a corroded rear coil spring and a slightly damaged rear tyre; the 2023‑07‑05 and 2023‑06‑30 tests showed more serious failures including brake disc weakening and parking brake inefficiency, but the recent two consecutive passes indicate a stable maintenance trajectory rather than worsening deterioration. Mileage has risen from 56,024 miles in August 2021 to 95,253 miles in August 2025, a gain of roughly 39,229 miles over four years, or about 9,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2017 Transporter. The interval between the 2024‑07‑10 and 2025‑08‑12 tests covers 13 months and 1,036 miles, showing regular driving rather than prolonged standing, and no major gaps appear in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the rear suspension assembly, inspecting the corroded coil springs, cracked or perishing rear tyres, and the condition of rear brake cables and calipers for binding or frayed sections; verify the parking brake’s efficiency and the integrity of the rear wheel bearing, which showed roughness when rotated in earlier tests; examine the rear brake discs and pads for the documented weakening and sub‑1.5 mm pad thickness, and confirm that oil leakage remains within acceptable limits and that the registration lamp operates correctly.
