2017 FORD TRANSIT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle cleared the most recent MOT on 26 February 2026 at 66,885 miles, but the tester recorded advisories for both rear tyres, front suspension arm bushes and a corroded central rear brake pipe. The same tyre and suspension bush advisories appear in the 2025, 2024 and 2023 tests, while brake‑pipe corrosion is present in the 2025, 2024 and 2023 records. The pattern shows a stable, unresolved wear issue rather than a deteriorating fault. Mileage has risen from 32,771 miles in February 2020 to 66,885 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 7,400 miles per year. This consumption aligns with typical use for a nine‑year‑old light commercial vehicle and does not reveal any abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. The mileage progression is consistent across each annual test, indicating regular, moderate usage. A prospective buyer should examine the rear tyre tread and sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as the advisories have persisted for three consecutive years. Front suspension arm pins and bushes warrant a tactile check for excessive play, given the repeated “worn but not resulting in excessive movement” notes. The central rear brake pipe, flagged for corrosion in every test since 2024, should be inspected for rust and greasing; replacement may be advisable to avoid future failure. Because earlier tests noted undertrays and engine covers obscuring the inspection, confirming that these panels are removable and that no hidden corrosion or damage exists under them is prudent. Overall, the vehicle remains road‑worthy but carries lingering wear items that a buyer must verify and likely address before committing to purchase.
