2017 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · FH17 ABX

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent entry on 28 August 2025 at 87,447 miles shows a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is typical for a nine year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 9,716 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 53,180 to 71,467 miles. This period of higher intensity use did not result in any recorded mechanical degradation or failures, indicating the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load well. The MOT history is unusually clean for a Ford Transit Courier of this age, with no mentions of common issues such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. While the lack of advisories is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the underside for structural rust and check the condition of the brake pads and tyres. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee that consumables are not nearing the end of their service life. A physical inspection should focus on the clutch and gearbox operation given the mileage. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 10 July 2024 at 71,465 miles, though the specific defect is not listed in the data. Verifying that no major components were replaced or patched during that specific visit will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's long term health.
