2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AE06 ADA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 131,446 miles. This follows a consistent trend of passing inspections without advisories since June 2023. The single failure recorded on 16 June 2022 at 100,433 miles suggests a minor non-compliance that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed the subsequent annual tests without further issues. The mileage accumulation is significant for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,605 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 100,433 miles in June 2022 to 131,446 miles by June 2025. This consistent annual increase indicates regular, heavy-duty use rather than sporadic or short-distance driving. While the lack of advisories is positive, the high cumulative mileage suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have undergone substantial wear. A physical inspection should focus on high-wear items typical for a Transit of this mileage. Given the heavy usage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify signs of fatigue. The buyer should also examine the underside for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. The absence of recorded advisories for tyres or wiper blades in the recent history is encouraging, but the high mileage necessitates a close look at the service history to ensure oil changes and essential mechanical maintenance have kept pace with the vehicle's workload. Focus on the condition of the clutch and flywheel, as these are common wear points on high-mileage diesel vans.
