2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · BD17 ABF

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a mixed roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-22 confirming a pass at 128,491 miles. However, the preceding test on 2025-05-22 recorded a failure at 128,489 miles, suggesting potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. No defects were noted in either test, but the lack of recorded issues over multiple years raises questions about the thoroughness of prior inspections. The vehicle’s maintenance trend appears stable in terms of defect-free reports, though the absence of detailed findings limits confidence in its mechanical condition. The mileage of 128,491 miles over nine years equates to an average of 14,277 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This high accumulation rate likely accelerates wear on consumables and critical systems. Notably, the 2024-05-24 test at 113,421 miles and the 2023-07-29 test at 101,599 miles show no defects, but the rapid increase from 101,599 to 128,491 miles in 15 months implies heavy usage. Gaps between tests, such as the 12-month interval between the 2025-05-22 pass and the current date, further complicate assessing ongoing maintenance. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding. Corrosion in underbody components and exhaust system integrity are critical, as prolonged use can degrade these areas. The absence of recorded structural issues is reassuring, but the lack of detailed MOT findings means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
