FORD TRANSIT2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 30 June 2025 at 124,215 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical or safety issues have been addressed. While there was a failure recorded in July 2024, the subsequent clean pass suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to keep the vehicle meeting DVSA standards. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,800 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between July 2022 at 75,551 miles and July 2024 at 108,434 miles, the vehicle covered over 33,000 miles in two years. This rapid accumulation is typical for a commercial Transit used for work but places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The regularity of the annual tests suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, which helps mitigate the risk of degradation in rubber seals and brake components. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension components and chassis, as the high mileage often leads to accelerated wear on bushes, coil springs, and ball joints. Given the failure in July 2024 that was resolved within three days, it is vital to verify the specific reason for that failure to ensure a recurring mechanical issue has not set in. Focus specifically on checking for signs of corrosion on the structural members and exhaust mounting points, as high-mileage vans are frequently exposed to road salt and heavy loads that compromise structural integrity.
