2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · KE66 ALO

The 2017 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 13 December 2025 at 71,884 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Across the five available MOT entries from December 2021 through December 2025, the vehicle passed every test with no advisories or failures logged. This clean sweep indicates the previous keeper addressed wear before each annual examination and kept the van to a sound standard. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old light commercial. The record shows 51,651 miles on 21 December 2021, rising to 56,503 by 19 December 2022, then 62,223 on 9 January 2024, 66,843 on 3 January 2025, and 71,884 on 13 December 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 5,600 miles added each year, below the 7,987 per-year average implied by the total. The sparse but consistent history reveals no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, and the absence of any flagged items suggests routine servicing rather than deferred rectification. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT offers a snapshot, not a teardown. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue invisible at test, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear given the low annual use may have allowed corrosion. Inspect chassis and body mounts for structural rust, particularly on a Transit of this age where sill and crossmember corrosion develops quietly between tests. Verify service books and proof of cambelt or timing chain intervals, as the MOT will not capture drivetrain neglect. The clean advisories list implies careful ownership, yet standing periods implied by low mileage can harden tyres and seize linkages. A pre-purchase check remains prudent.
