2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AE67 NPV

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 133,227 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual tests from July 2022 through July 2025 each passed without advisories, indicating the vehicle has entered a clean inspection cycle. The owner has maintained the van to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements across the last three years. Mileage stands at 133,227 against a nine-year age, averaging roughly 14,800 miles per year which is high for a light commercial of this period and points to consistent hard use. The records show a marked jump between 22 July 2022 at 101,593 miles and 17 July 2023 at 124,842 miles, an accumulation of over 23,000 miles in eleven months, then a sharp slowdown to only 2,177 miles by July 2024 and 6,208 by July 2025. This pattern suggests the vehicle shifted from daily business operation to infrequent standby use in its later life. The only blemish in the history is a failed test on 20 July 2022 at 101,592 miles, reversed two days later at 101,593 miles with a pass and no defects logged. Such a rapid turnaround with no recorded faults implies a administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical defect, and the absence of any advisories since means suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and structural corrosion have not drawn tester concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis rails and sills for hidden corrosion, verify the condition of the suspension components given the early high-mileage years, and confirm the braking system is free from binding calipers after the long low-use period since 2023. The clean record offers reassurance, but standing time can mask perished rubber and seized linkages not captured in a pass result.
