Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on the underside of the chassis. The recent MOT failure in September 2025 highlighted excessive corrosion on the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside front brake pipes. You should ask for evidence that these pipes have been replaced or treated, rather than just patched.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and suspension components. The vehicle has a history of tyre-related failures, including edge wear and cracking, and the 2025 MOT noted slight corrosion on the front suspension. Ensure all lighting, including the reversing lamp which failed in 2024, is fully operational.
As a 2.0L diesel Transit, running costs will be influenced by your typical payload and driving style. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally efficient for a commercial vehicle, but costs will vary based on load.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2017 Transit are standard for the class, though insurance can be higher for commercial vehicles depending on your profile. Maintenance costs should account for the fact that this model has shown a tendency toward corrosion-related repairs and tyre replacements in its MOT history.
A detailed inspection of the braking system is essential. Given the failure in late 2025 for 'excessively corroded' brake pipes on three different corners, you must verify that the entire system is free from further degradation.
Inspect the suspension components for signs of the corrosion mentioned in the 2025 MOT. You should also check the mirrors; a previous failure noted a seriously damaged nearside obligatory mirror. Finally, examine the tyre tread and sidewalls closely, as the vehicle has a recorded history of both edge wear and perishing tyres.
This 2017 white Ford Transit (AP17OGS) has covered 48,030 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 8,947 miles per year. However, the MOT history reveals a pattern of failures, specifically concerning brake pipe corrosion and tyre wear. The most recent test in October 2025 passed, but only after a failure regarding multiple corroded brake pipes.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.4% MOT pass rate, with corrosion and tyres being among the most common reasons for failure.
