2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · PO67 WCF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-22 at 120,579 miles showed no defects, with prior tests from 2025-01-22 (114,179 miles) and 2023-12-01 (82,024 miles) also passing. The 2023-11-30 test at the same mileage failed but recorded no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrecorded issue. Overall, the maintenance trend indicates stability, with no recurring mechanical failures in the last three years. However, the 2023 failure raises questions about potential unresolved concerns, though no specific faults were documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 120,579 miles over nine years equates to an average of 13,398 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 67,932 miles in 2022 to 82,024 miles by 2023-12-01—over 14,000 miles in one year—suggests heavy usage, increasing wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. The subsequent 32,155-mile increase to 114,179 miles by 2025-01-22 further highlights sustained high-mileage operation, which may accelerate deterioration of consumables and structural elements. Buyers should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to potential binding or uneven wear. Structural integrity and corrosion, especially in the chassis or body panels, should be checked, as MOT tests do not assess these. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests is positive, but the 2023 failure and rapid mileage growth underscore the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond official records.
