FORD TRANSIT2017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The 2017 Ford Transit remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by its most recent MOT on 2025-10-02 at 48,127 miles. Minor defects were recorded, including a damaged offside wing mirror indicator lens, a non-excessive oil leak, and a rear tyre showing perishing. No critical failures or structural issues were noted, and prior tests from 2021 to 2024 at progressively lower mileages (33,563–41,790) showed no defects. This suggests consistent upkeep, though the recent tyre and oil leak indicators warrant closer scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 48,127 miles over nine years equates to approximately 5,347 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. The MOT record shows no gaps longer than 13 months between tests, indicating regular compliance, though the absence of defects in earlier years does not preclude hidden wear in systems like suspension or drivetrain. A buyer should inspect the rear tyre for further cracking, the oil leak’s source (possibly seals or gaskets), and the wing mirror’s mounting for damage. While no suspension or brake issues were flagged, the low mileage raises questions about potential corrosion in underbody components or brake disc warping from limited use. The absence of advisories on structural integrity or exhaust emissions is positive, but a pre-purchase inspection should verify fluid levels, brake function, and suspension bushings to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with its maintenance history.
