2017 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · AE67 NLR

The 2017 Ford Transit Courier presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 110,278 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures, demonstrating that the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards without reservation. This unblemished record over five consecutive years indicates a consistent pattern of proactive mechanical care rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation aligns with sustained commercial or high-frequency use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the October 2021 test at 79,170 miles and the September 2025 test at 110,278 miles, the van covered 31,108 miles over four years, averaging roughly 7,777 miles annually. The most recent twelve-month interval between September 2024 and September 2025 saw 8,179 miles added, suggesting the rate of use has remained relatively steady without sudden, excessive surges or suspicious mileage gaps. Despite the flawless MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must account for the mechanical demands placed on a commercial vehicle exceeding 110,000 miles. A buyer should physically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage Transits frequently suffer from premature wear in these components that might not yet trigger an MOT failure. The brake discs and pads require close scrutiny for lipping and thickness, alongside a thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion. Given the van's age and structural mileage, an inspection of the chassis and load floor for any signs of surface rust or structural compromise remains prudent, even if the last test recorded no such defects.
