2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · KE66 AKP

This Ford Transit presents a stable and exceptionally clean MOT history. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 156,954 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without the need for corrective work between tests. The vehicle has covered significant distance for its age, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. Mileage accumulation has remained high and steady, with a notable jump of nearly 20,000 miles between the February 2022 test at 107,427 miles and the January 2023 test at 127,234 miles. More recent intervals show a slight moderation in use, covering 5,898 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. Despite the absence of recorded failures or advisories, the high mileage suggests heavy duty use. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue, as these components typically degrade under such high mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. The brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning, and the chassis should be examined for surface corrosion, particularly in areas prone to salt spray. The drivetrain and engine mounts deserve close scrutiny given the 156,954 miles on the clock. While the MOT record shows no exhaust emissions failures or mechanical defects, the sheer volume of use means wear on the clutch and gearbox linkages is likely. A thorough check of the service history is necessary to confirm that oil changes and timing belt intervals were adhered to, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
