2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · GD67 HFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 17 September 2025 at 85,397 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The vehicle failed the test on that same day due to incorrect offside headlamp aim, worn and pitted rear brake discs, and thin rear artwork pads. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the presence of these faults indicates that major components are only being addressed once they reach a legal failure threshold. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. There is a recorded interval of 16,718 miles between the October 2023 test (51,080 miles) and the September 2024 test (67,798 miles), followed by another 17,599 miles prior to the September 2025 test. This steady annual accumulation suggests regular usage patterns, which typically means predictable wear on rubber components and fluids compared to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, as a fractured offside coil spring was noted at 51,080 miles in 2023. Given the recent failure regarding rear brake discs and pads, a physical check of the braking calipers and flexible lines is necessary to ensure there is no ongoing binding or further uneven wear. Additionally, the oil leak noted in September 2024 at 67,798 miles should be monitored to ensure it has not developed into a significant engine seal failure. The condition of the artwork and mirror assemblies should also be verified for stability, as these have been flagged in previous inspections.
