2017 FORD TRANSIT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 122,723 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier failures in November 2023 did not generate any advisory items, indicating that the issues prompting the fails were likely administrative rather than mechanical, and the subsequent pass in January 2025 suggests the condition has remained stable. At 122,723 miles the 2017 Ford Transit averages roughly 13,600 miles per year, a mileage level that exceeds typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a steady increase of 7,135 miles between the January 2025 test and the March 2026 test, and a larger jump of 15,365 miles from November 2023 to January 2025. No large gaps in testing are evident, implying regular MOT attendance, yet the high annual accumulation points to substantial wear on consumables and potentially on suspension components and drivetrain bearings. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue, as high mileage can accelerate bush wear. Brake discs and pads merit close visual and tactile inspection for glazing or uneven wear, especially since the recent MOT did not flag braking issues but the vehicle’s mileage suggests they may be approaching service limits. Tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity, and uniformity should be checked, as the MOT history contains no tyre advisories despite the mileage. Finally, a thorough examination for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and exhaust system is advisable to rule out hidden structural rust that may not have been captured in the MOT data.
