2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YR67 ABN

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT test on 25 November 2025 showing a pass with no defects. While the vehicle failed that same test due to an inoperative nearside front position lamp, the issue was rectified immediately. The history indicates a pattern of addressing minor electrical and consumable faults, though the vehicle has faced recurring issues regarding suspension components and braking systems over the last several years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 51,029 miles in October 2020 to 101,768 miles in November 2025. This predictable usage pattern suggests regular operation rather than long periods of inactivity, which typically helps prevent seized components, though it does mean the vehicle is entering a higher mileage bracket where wear on drivetrain and suspension elements becomes more prevalent. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the suspension and steering assemblies. The tester flagged deteriorating ball joint dust covers on both nearside and offside front lower suspension components during the November 2024 test at 95,437 miles. This follows advisories from November 2023 at 87,993 miles regarding worn suspension arm pins and bushes. These recurring issues suggest that while individual parts are being replaced, the overall suspension system is subject to significant stress. The brake history also warrants a physical inspection. The records show a trend of thinning brake pads, with advisories noted in October 2021 at 64,631 miles and November 2022 at 78,749 miles. Given the heavy-duty nature of a Ford Transit, a buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for signs of uneven wear or binding. Additionally, the deterioration of the offside front outer drive shaft CV boot in late 2023 indicates that the drivetrain components are also reaching the end of their service life.
