2017 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · AE17 YCY

This vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 May 2025 at 120,758 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to March 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without the need for corrective work between tests. The mileage is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,418 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between May 2022 and May 2023, where the odometer rose from 96,079 to 114,339 miles. This period of heavy use suggests the van served as a primary workhorse. Despite this high accumulation, the absence of any recorded advisories across five consecutive tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that typically wear out at 120,000 miles but may not be flagged until they reach a critical failure point. Priority should be given to the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the state of the brake discs. Given the high mileage, checking for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox is essential. The lack of recorded corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is positive, but a manual check of the chassis and sills remains necessary. While the paperwork suggests a well-kept vehicle, the high mileage means consumables like tyres and wiper blades will require frequent replacement. The overall record implies a disciplined approach to maintenance by the previous owner.
