Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a detailed mech
Prioritise a check of the suspension and drivetrain. The MOT records show a recurring advisory for the offside front suspension arm pin or bush appearing in both 2025 and 2026, indicating a component that is deteriorating and will likely need replacement soon.
Review the service records specifically for the nearside front oil leak noted in June 2024. Ensure there is evidence that this leak was investigated and repaired rather than simply monitored, as oil leaks can lead to more significant engine issues if left unaddressed.
Operating this 2.0L diesel Transit will involve standard commercial vehicle expenses. Fuel economy will fluctuate based on payload, while tax and insurance will align with the 1995cc engine displacement and vehicle class.
Maintenance costs are likely to be moderate to high given the current mileage of 108,072. Future spends will likely include suspension bushings and potential brake system refreshes, as rear discs and pads were flagged as worn in 2024.
Focus your inspection on the offside front suspension arm and bushings, as this specific point of failure has been noted in the last two MOT cycles. Inspect the nearside front engine bay for any signs of oil residue related to the leak recorded in 2024.
Check the condition of the rear brake discs and shock absorbers; the 2024 record noted pitted discs and a misting shock absorber on the nearside rear. Verify if these components were replaced or if they remain in a deteriorated state.
This 2017 white Ford Transit has recorded 108,072 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wear-and-tear issues, including failures for a split CV boot, worn brake discs, and a cut tyre in 2024. Most recently, it passed its June 2026 test, although it continues to carry an advisory for a worn offside front suspension arm bush.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with the most frequent failures typically involving headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
