2017 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · DV17 AFA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-14 at 89,482 miles recorded a pass, but a prior test on the same date showed a failure with no defects noted, suggesting potential data inconsistency. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 at lower mileages all passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend up to 2024. However, the lack of a valid MOT since 2025-07-14 raises concerns about compliance and recent usage, as the vehicle has not been retested despite being 9 years old. Mileage progression shows a steady increase from 64,436 miles in 2022 to 71,549 in 2023, then 77,863 in 2024, before a sharp jump to 89,482 miles by 2025. This suggests accelerated usage in the final year, which could exacerbate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. The absence of recurring defects in earlier tests implies no systemic issues, but the sudden mileage rise without intervening MOTs limits visibility into mechanical health. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, check brake calipers for binding, and assess corrosion on underbody components, as these are common wear points in older vans. The lack of recorded advisories in MOTs does not guarantee fault-free condition, particularly given the gap in testing. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as these are critical for roadworthiness and emissions compliance.
