2017 Advanced VAN Conversion 2.0L Diesel · YX66 AOS

The 2026‑02‑06 MOT at 82,982 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. All subsequent tests since the 2021 corrective actions have shown consistent passes, suggesting the previous mechanical and electrical faults have been remedied. The vehicle therefore appears to be in a reliable condition for continued use. The mileage has risen from 8,951 miles in March 2018 to 82,982 miles in February 2026, averaging about 9,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2017 commercial van. The most notable acceleration occurred between the 2020 test at 28,593 miles and the 2021 failure at 40,965 miles, a gain of 12,372 miles over ten months, while later annual intervals have remained around 5,000 to 6,000 miles. A buyer should therefore inspect the tyres for bulges or separation, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the brake calipers for binding and the discs for scoring, and verify that the chassis and structural members are free of corrosion. The earlier failures on headlamp aim, interior lighting and reverse lights suggest checking the wiring harnesses and lamp assemblies for corrosion or poor connections, and confirming that the passenger seat cushions are free of sharp metal fragments that could indicate previous interior damage. No recurring suspension or brake defects have been recorded after 2021, but the presence of tyre bulges and an inoperative engine MIL in 2021 indicates that previous remedial work may have been incomplete, warranting a close inspection of those systems. Overall, the vehicle’s maintenance history shows regular testing and no recent defects, supporting a cautious but informed purchase decision.
