2017 Ford Roller Team 2.0L Diesel · DK17 AEX

This Ford Roller Team has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects or advisories recorded across all five tests, including the most recent inspection on 2025-05-09 at 25,288 miles. The absence of any warnings or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, servicing in line with manufacturer recommendations. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain components—which would require a thorough mechanical inspection. The recorded mileage of 25,288 miles over nine years indicates exceptionally light usage, averaging just 2,810 miles annually. This pattern is unusual for a vehicle of this age, as such low mileage often correlates with prolonged periods of storage or minimal operation. The largest mileage gap occurs between the 2021-09-01 test (15,171 miles) and the 2022-04-22 test (19,132 miles), a span of 19,300 miles in just seven months—an anomaly that could imply either intensive use or an inaccurate odometer reading. Subsequent mileage increments remain stable and modest, reinforcing the likelihood of limited driving. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components for dry rot or degradation, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to failure in low-mileage vehicles due to prolonged static loading. The brakes, while never failing an MOT, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, as prolonged inactivity can cause pad glazing or rotor distortion. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel bearing condition, must also be scrutinised, as rust and wear often develop subtly over extended periods of disuse. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and engine oil—should be verified, as neglect in these areas can lead to catastrophic failure.
