FORD TRANSIT2017 · 2.2L DIESEL

The 2017 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 03 July 2026 at 122,373 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the only historical blemish being a single failed test on 07 May 2024 for offside headlamp aim too high, which the same-day retest corrected before the vehicle passed. Prior to that, the February 2023 test at unspecified mileage flagged offside front tyre wear close to the legal limit on the edge, a minor consumable item rather than a structural concern. Recorded mileage shows consistent annual use above typical averages for a nine-year-old van. The vehicle covered 81,243 miles by May 2024, rose to 97,844 miles by April 2025, and reached 122,373 miles by July 2026. That equates to roughly 16,500 miles in the last fourteen months versus about 13,600 miles per year overall, indicating a slight recent acceleration in accumulation but no standing periods or missing annual tests. The sparse advisory history suggests the previous operator addressed wear items without neglect, though the 2023 edge tyre wear implies occasional deferred replacement. A buyer should still verify the offside front suspension geometry and tyre condition in person, given the 2023 edge wear pattern may point to worn steering or suspension bushes rather than mere alignment. The May 2024 headlamp aim failure warrants a check that the mounting brackets and beam adjusters are not degraded. Despite clean passes since, the high mileage means brake discs, coil springs, and subframe corrosion should be physically inspected, as these components accumulate fatigue invisible to a fault-free test sheet.
