2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YH67 AEK

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 107,804 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. The absence of any advisories or failures across five consecutive annual tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical or structural concerns. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly typical levels for a nine-year-old light commercial vehicle, averaging near 11,978 miles per year. The records show 63,909 miles at the August 2021 test, rising to 77,661 by August 2022, 91,725 by August 2023, then 106,222 in September 2024 and 107,804 in December 2025. The jump between August 2023 and September 2024 of some 14,497 miles is the largest annual increment, while the final 15 months added only 1,582 miles, suggesting lighter recent use. The clean test history across these periods implies previous operators kept on top of consumable and mechanical upkeep rather than deferring basic servicing. Given the sparse MOT data with zero advisories, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of core wear items not always captured at test. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers warrant physical checks for fatigue or binding, particularly given the lower recent mileage which can mask seized components through lack of use. Structural integrity around chassis rails and sills should be examined for corrosion, as a pass with no defects does not equate to a corrosion-free underside. The record offers no evidence of recurring faults or escalating wear, so the principal risk lies in unseen deterioration during the low-use final period rather than documented neglect. A pre-purchase visual check of tyre condition, exhaust emissions under load, and drivetrain leaks remains sensible despite the favourable official history.
