2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · EO17 AED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on October 22 2025 with 122,954 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep, as the vehicle consistently fails immediately before a pass. The most recent failure involved basic electrical issues, specifically a failed stop lamp and a dipped beam headlamp, alongside a nearside front tyre with insufficient tread depth. While these issues were rectified quickly, they suggest the owner only addresses defects when necessitated by the testing process. The mileage profile indicates a significant acceleration in usage over the last three years. Between October 2022 (44,352 miles) and October 2025 (122,954 miles), the vehicle covered nearly 78,000 miles, averaging approximately 26,000 miles per year. This is a sharp increase from the earlier period between 2020 and 2022, where the vehicle covered much lower distances. This high-intensity usage typically puts heavy strain on the Transit's drivetrain, suspension components, and braking components. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension assembly. The vehicle failed in October 2024 at 89,683 miles due to low parking brake efficiency, which often indicates wear on the mechanism, cables, or seized calipers. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check for worn bushes, control arms, and coil springs is essential, as these parts degrade rapidly under heavy loading. While no structural corrosion has been noted yet, the rapid increase in mileage warrants a close inspection of the chassis for any signs of stress-related fatigue.
