2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AF67 RKV

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 160,688 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 7 December 2024 examination at 149,961 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating fault pattern across its documented history. Mileage stands at 160,688 against a nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 17,854 miles annually which is high for a light commercial of this age. The records show consistent yearly accumulation: 129,517 miles at the November 2023 failure, 129,971 by the December 2023 pass, 149,952 at the December 2024 failure and 149,961 at the same-day pass, then 160,688 by December 2025. The DVSA data is sparse with no advisories or defects listed on any pass, though two failed tests on 25 November 2023 and 7 December 2024 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or unclassified rejections rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the high annual mileage and winter testing cycles. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant measurement for wear, as the clean MOT entries do not capture gradual consumable degradation between tests. The twin same-day fail-pass events in December 2024 at 149,952 and 149,961 miles suggest a rectification was completed off-record; verify what was addressed. Given the transit's use profile, examine the drivetrain for oil leakage and inspect exhaust emissions hardware for deterioration. The absence of advisories across four passes implies previous keepers addressed issues pre-test, but the two defect-free failures merit confirmation of their cause through the test station's detailed refusal notes.
