2017 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · A12 BTF

The 2017 Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 140,199 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 24 June 2024 at 124,974 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. The mileage sits high for a nine-year-old van at 140,199 miles, averaging roughly 15,578 miles per year. Records show 93,919 miles in June 2022, 112,218 in June 2023, 124,974 in June 2024, then 140,199 by June 2025, a steady annual climb of around 15,000 to 16,000 miles with no standing gaps. The only anomaly is the 10 June 2024 failure at 124,152 miles, reversed by a pass fourteen days later at 124,974 miles with no defects listed, suggesting the initial rejection was administrative or a minor rectifiable item rather than a mechanical fault left unresolved. Given the sparse history shows no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues across five years, the previous keeper appears to have maintained the van to a basic passing standard. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity beneath the body, check coil springs and steering joints for fatigue from the high annual load, and verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades that the MOT did not separately advise. The absence of recurring advisories points to no worsening mechanical trend, but the mileage demands scrutiny of the drivetrain and clutch wear that MOT tests do not measure. Treat the clean record as a baseline, not a guarantee, and confirm service history before purchase.
