2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AE67 NMF

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 5 September 2025 at 111,932 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures across the entire inspection. This unblemished record over five consecutive years demonstrates meticulous upkeep and suggests the previous owner addressed any minor issues proactively rather than allowing them to escalate into formal failures. The vehicle currently sits in robust mechanical condition according to DVSA standards. Accumulating 111,932 miles over nine years equates to roughly 12,437 miles annually, a figure that sits above the national average for a commercial van. The mileage progression reveals consistent, heavy daily use rather than long periods of standing. Between 2021 and 2022, the van covered 13,742 miles, followed by 12,306 miles the next year, 15,388 miles in the subsequent period, and 9,600 miles in the most recent year. The slight drop in annual mileage over the last twelve months might indicate a change in usage, but the MOT tests were conducted annually without gaps, confirming the vehicle remained in active service and legally compliant. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the wear items inherent to high-mileage commercial vehicles. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers will have endured significant stress over 111,932 miles, requiring a close check for cracking, sagging, or oil leaks. Brake discs and pads on a Transit of this vintage often suffer from corrosion and lipping, even if they passed the recent roller test. Pay particular attention to the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor, as surface rust can hide deeper corrosion around the outriggers and cross members. Drivetrain components, including the clutch and dual-mass flywheel, should be evaluated for wear, given the heavy operational demands implied by the mileage accumulation.
