2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · LN67 YOX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing an improving maintenance trend following a minor failure. The most recent test conducted on 24 September 2025 at 107,578 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This transition from a failed state to a clean pass suggests that the current or previous owner is reactive to safety-critical requirements as they arise. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. There is a notable usage of over 20,000 miles recorded between September 2022 (79,671 miles) and September 2023 (100,389 miles), followed by a more moderate accumulation of 7,189 miles over the following year. This level of use suggests the vehicle was used for commercial or commuting purposes rather than sitting for long periods, which typically results in predictable wear on the suspension components and braking system. An in-person inspection should focus on the offside rear shock absorber, which was flagged for light oil misting in September 2024 at 101,318 miles. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, misting often indicates the beginning of a seal failure that will eventually require a unit replacement. Additionally, the failure in 2023 due to severely worn rear brake pads indicates that service intervals may be long. A buyer should verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for uneven scoring on the discs to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its functional life.
