2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · KE66 AMO

The 2017 Ford Transit’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-13 at 146,984 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a failed test on 2024-09-24 at 141,633 miles—also with no defects—suggests an anomaly, possibly a procedural error or a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass the next day. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the record, and the vehicle has maintained compliance without advisories. The absence of critical failures in recent tests implies the owner addressed issues promptly, but the lack of detailed defect notes limits insight into underlying conditions. The vehicle’s mileage of 146,984 miles over nine years equates to an average of 16,332 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This high accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. Notably, the 2023-01-31 test at 123,071 miles and the 2022-02-02 test at 99,969 miles show consistent intervals, but the 2024-09-25 pass at 141,641 miles followed a 18,572-mile jump from the 2023 test, indicating rapid usage. Such patterns may correlate with increased stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems, warranting closer scrutiny. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or corroded components, given the high mileage, and verify brake disc thickness and caliper functionality, as excessive use can cause premature wear. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked for corrosion, as frequent operation may exacerbate rust risks. While the MOT history shows no major failures, the vehicle’s usage profile suggests potential hidden wear, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
