2017 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · BA66 WWS

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is compromised by a clear deterioration in the MOT history, indicating that maintenance was either skipped or performed inconsistently. The most recent test on 2025-05-27 was a failure at 135,399 miles, which is the latest recorded date and directly correlates to the current age of the car. This failure occurred due to a combination of issues, including a front tire tread depth below the legal limit of 1.6mm and a ply/cord exposure on the front tire, suggesting that the owner has not maintained the tyres or tires correctly over the past year. The mileage trend shows a significant gap between the most recent test and the vehicle's age, with the last test occurring 11 months ago. This gap suggests that the owner may have neglected routine maintenance, particularly regarding the tyres and wheels, which are critical components for roadworthiness. The rapid accumulation of miles over a short period, combined with the failure of the MOT at this age, indicates a lack of proactive care and a high risk of mechanical failure. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Given the recurring faults including tyre wear, bonnet stay issues, and potential structural damage from the broken bonnet stay, the vehicle is not currently roadworthy. The history suggests that basic upkeep has been skipped, and while the engine oil leak in the most recent test was not excessive, the overall condition of the drivetrain and suspension is in poor state.
