2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · GD67 BYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. The most recent test in February 2026 at 88,173 miles shows the vehicle passed with advisories for front brake discs and a deteriorated rear registration plate. While the status is currently stable, the failure in early 2025 due to anti-roll bar bushes and a damaged tyre indicates that components are only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure or mechanical risk. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. There was a significant jump of 16,000 miles recorded between February 2024 (60,797 miles) and February 2025 (76,955 miles), followed by another 11,218 miles leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the consistent wear on consumables like brakes and suspension components noted throughout the record. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system closely, as the record shows worn, pitted discs and thin pads appearing across the 2025 and 2026 tests. The suspension also requires attention, specifically the front anti-roll bar bushes which caused a failure in 2025; these should be checked for play or further rubber degradation. Additionally, the windscreen chips mentioned across multiple years should be evaluated to ensure no cracks have propagated into the driver's line of view, which would necessitate a replacement.
