2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · UO10 DOO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 2 April 2026 at 105,058 miles, but the maintenance trend is worsening. The most recent test followed a failure just one day prior, where the tester identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring. While this was rectified for the pass, the vehicle still carries advisories for a worn and pitted offside rear brake disc and perishing rubber on both rear tyres. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,673 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, moving from 98,708 miles in March 2024 to 105,058 miles by April 2026. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest irregular usage or commercial overloading. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear axle and suspension. The fractured coil spring in April 2026 and the serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber in March 2025 indicate a pattern of suspension wear. It is likely that other bushings or dampers are nearing the end of their service life given the vehicle's age and mileage. The braking system requires immediate attention. The offside rear brake disc was flagged as pitted and scored in April 2026, suggesting the vehicle may have sat idle for periods or suffered from corrosion. The perishing rear tyres further support this theory. A thorough check of all four brake calipers for binding and a full inspection of the tyre sidewalls for ozone cracking are necessary to ensure the vehicle is safe for continued use.
