2017 FORD TRANSIT2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 56,459 miles resulted in zero defects, continuing a streak of clean passes over the last four years. This consistency suggests the current owner is maintaining the vehicle effectively, as the van has moved through inspections without recurring failures or advisories. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in a single year, indicating heavy commercial application. However, since the 2022 test at 83,023 miles, the usage has dropped drastically, recording only a few thousand miles annually over the following three years. This current average of approximately 6,200 miles per year is typical for a nine-year-old Transit, though the sudden drop in mileage can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber seals or minor corrosion on stationary components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2021 test flagged thin rear brake pads at 80,217 miles. While this issue appears to have been addressed given subsequent clean records, a check of the calipers for binding or the discs for uneven wear remains prudent. Given the high-mileage period in its earlier life, inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or tearing is essential. Additionally, examining the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion will ensure that the previous heavy-use phase has not compromised the frame.
