FORD TRANSIT2017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 57,261 miles passed, it carried over an off offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a recurring trend seen in the March 2025 test where the same tyre was flagged, indicating that the owner only replaces components once they reach the point of MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. There is a significant four-year gap in the records between the May 2021 test at 53,646 miles and the March 2025 test at 55,158 miles. During this period, the vehicle covered only 1,512 miles, which suggests low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, evidenced by the perishing nearside front tyre noted in the 2025 failure. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the record shows persistent pitting and scoring on discs across 2021, 2025, and 2026. The failure in 2021 due to low parking brake efficiency and thin pads suggests the braking mechanical assembly may be neglected between services. The recurring edge wear on the offside rear tyre across multiple years points to a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires professional attention to prevent further premature tyre replacement.
