2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · A252 PNB

The Ford Transit presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 12 July 2025 at 183,630 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The most recent test followed a failed attempt on 11 July 2025 at 183,628 miles where the tester recorded no defects, indicating the failure likely stemmed from administrative or unlogged non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault condition. Mileage stands at 183,630 against a 2017 registration, averaging roughly 20,400 miles per year which is high for the age and points to sustained commercial use. The record shows 128,671 miles at the May 2022 test, jumping to 165,493 by June 2023 and 166,139 by July 2023, then a large gap to 183,630 by July 2025. That gap of over 17,000 miles across two years with only the 2025 entries suggests lighter recent use or sparse testing discipline from the prior operator. Given the absence of flagged items such as corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions faults, the DVSA data alone reveals no recurring mechanical trends requiring corrective action. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as high annual mileage vans of this type commonly develop unseen wear not captured in a clean MOT. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries on 28 June 2023 and 11 July 2025 imply the previous owners may have presented the vehicle without resolving paperwork or minor presentational issues rather than neglecting core upkeep. Verify service records and inspect for undertray rust before purchase.
