2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YT67 AEW

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 September 2025 at 165,462 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle's safety systems, emissions, and structural components met the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary mechanical requirements effectively. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 18,385 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the September 2023 test at 119,095 miles and the September 2025 test at 165,462 miles, the vehicle covered 46,367 miles. This rapid accumulation places consistent, heavy strain on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. While the single failure recorded on 30 August 2023 at 119,093 miles was followed by a pass just six days later, it suggests a minor or consumable issue that was rectified immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and underbody, as high-mileage commercial vans like this Ford Transit typically suffer accelerated wear on coil springs, control arm bushes, and shock absorbers. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs for thinning and inspecting the calipers for signs of binding or excessive is also essential. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, the sheer distance covered necessitates a thorough check of the turbocharger condition and any fluid leaks to ensure the engine is not nearing the end of a major component life cycle.
