2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AC15 CAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on December 11, 2025, at 51,017 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The test on that same day initially failed due to multiple immediate safety-critical defects involving rear braking components and tyre condition. While the vehicle passedion after these repairs, the presence of thin brake pads and perishing tyres indicates that components are only addressed when they reach a legal failure threshold rather than during routine servicing intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 5,669 miles per year. Data shows consistent but slow accumulation, moving from 23,490 miles in December 2022 to 51,017 miles by late 2025. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to age-related deterioration of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted on the nearside rear tyre in the December 2025 failure report. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension assembly, as the history reveals recurring issues with brake pads and discs. The December 2024 test noted thin front pads, followed by a failure in December 2025 for offside rear pads under 1.5mm and worn rear discs. Furthermore, the repeated history of uneven tyre wear and low tread depth across 2022, 2023, and 2025 suggests the potential for alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require physical verification. The underbody covers also merit scrutiny, as they were flagged in 2023 for obstructing testable items from the inspector's view.
