FORD TRANSIT2017 · 2.0L Diesel

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 April 2025 at 77,168 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to August 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old commercial vehicle. It covered 15,141 miles between the March 2024 test at 62,055 miles and the April 2025 test at 77,168 miles. This represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the 7,000-mile gap seen between March 2023 and March 2024. There are no erratic mileage jumps or periods of prolonged standing that would suggest hidden degradation of seals or fluids. The record shows a failure on 19 March 2024, though the tester recorded no specific defects in the provided data before the pass nine days later. This suggests a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable issue that did not warrant a permanent entry. Because the history is devoid of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks, the mechanical trend is exceptionally positive. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT does not always exhaustively cover. Check the condition of the clutch and gearbox synchronization, as these are high-wear items for Transits regardless of a clean MOT. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the lack of structural failures in the record does not guarantee the absence of early-stage rust. Verify the service history for oil changes to ensure the engine has been lubricated beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
