2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · WG67 AEC

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-12-18 at 183,296 miles with no defects recorded. However, the pattern of frequent MOT failures without recorded defects—such as the 2025-12-08 failure at 183,294 miles and the 2024-12-02 failure at 175,739 miles—suggests inconsistent testing or unresolved minor issues. While the latest test indicates compliance, the lack of defect details in prior failures limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 183,296 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 20,366 miles annually, which is notably high for its age. This rapid accumulation implies heavy usage, increasing wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, as well as potential stress on the suspension and drivetrain. The MOT records show minimal gaps, with tests conducted annually, but the absence of defect details in most entries prevents a thorough assessment of progressive wear. The 2023-12-13 test at 167,630 miles, which passed without issues, offers limited insight into earlier maintenance trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates such wear. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s heavy usage. Corrosion or structural integrity issues, though not flagged in MOT records, may persist given the age and mileage. The lack of defect data in multiple tests underscores the need for a professional mechanical inspection to identify hidden faults not captured in the MOT history.
