2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · BJ17 FDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 93,721 miles, this followed a significant failure just four days prior. The trend shows a recurring failure to address mechanical wear and lighting issues until they result in an MOT failure. The presence of an ongoing gearbox oil leak and deteriorated CV boot in the latest pass suggests that the owner only performs the minimum repairs necessary to obtain a으로 test certificate. The mileage progression is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the Transit covered roughly 20,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. However, the rapid accumulation of 10,000 miles between the November 2024 and December 2025 tests coincides with a cluster of escalating mechanical failures, suggesting the vehicle has been subjected to heavy loads or high- hours without adequate servicing between intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record flagged worn arm bushes and ball joints in 2025, while the brake discs have been noted as pitted or scored across almost every test since 2023. This indicates a chronic neglect of replacing components until they reach a state of failure. The gearbox oil leak noted in late 2025 requires close monitoring to determine if it is a minor seep or a developing seal failure requiring replacement. The report of exhaust fumes entering the cabin during the November 2025 failure also points to a potential exhaust or manifold issue that should be verified for integrity. Given the history of low brake efficiency readings in 2023, the parking brake and main service brakes should be tested to ensure they now meet modern standards. The vehicle appears to be a workhorse that has been maintained on a strict budget, which often leads to hidden wear on drivetrain components and rubber bushings.
