2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · KE66 AJO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 at 125,316 miles recorded a pass, but an identical failed result at the same date and mileage raises questions about data accuracy. No defects were noted in either outcome, suggesting the test may have been inconclusive or misrecorded. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 showed similar pass/fail pairs with no defects, indicating a lack of significant mechanical issues but also inconsistent testing outcomes. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring faults or escalating risks identified in the recorded history. The vehicle’s mileage of 125,316 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 13,924 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. Notable gaps between MOT tests—12 months between 2023-02-09 (79,757 miles) and 2024-02-15 (112,697 miles), followed by 10 months to 2025-12-01 (125,316 miles)—suggest irregular usage patterns. The rapid accumulation of 32,940 miles in 12 months between 2023 and 2024 implies heavy operational demand, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. The absence of recorded defects in these tests does not confirm mechanical integrity, as some issues may not trigger immediate failures. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly coil springs and shock absorbers, given the high mileage and potential for fatigue. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as frequent use can exacerbate these issues. Structural integrity, including underbody rust or panel damage, is also critical, as high-mileage vehicles are more prone to corrosion. The lack of advisories in the MOT records does not eliminate risks, and the vehicle’s history warrants a thorough mechanical assessment to confirm its roadworthiness.
