2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · MM17 ABN

The 8 October 2025 DVSA test passed the Transporter at 56,224 miles with advisories for nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge. Maintenance trend reflects a stabilised condition after a temporary regression. The 8 October 2024 test failed the van on a non-working offside dipped headlamp, excessively worn front lower suspension arm rear bushes, thin rear brake pads and worn rear discs. The keeper corrected the headlamp, bushes and pads within six days for a 14 October 2024 pass. Later tests show those mechanical faults stayed resolved, leaving only consumable tyre wear. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical light commercial use for a nine-year-old van. Records show 34,075 miles at the 10 October 2022 test, rising to 41,934 on 10 October 2023, 48,490 on 14 October 2024 and 56,224 on 8 October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,500 to 7,800 miles per annum with no abrupt gaps or high-use spikes. Early history before 2022 is absent from the supplied data, though the clean results from 2022 and 2023 suggest previous keepers maintained the vehicle to a reasonable standard in those years. A buyer should inspect in person the components that drew repeated attention. Both front tyres showed edge wear in 2024 and again in 2025, suggesting alignment error or residual suspension geometry issue even after bush replacement. Check the front lower arms for fresh bush wear and verify rear brake discs, advised worn in 2024, are now within tolerance. The coolant leak noted in October 2024 disappeared from later records but warrants pressure testing. Confirm the offside headlamp dipped beam operates correctly. No examiner raised corrosion or structural integrity issues across the record, which indicates the body shell remains sound. Still, the earlier suspension bush failure merits a close look at subframe mounts for stress cracks.
