2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · BN67 TTU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 116,089 miles passed with minor electrical defects regarding inoperative registration plate lamps. This follows a significant failure in August 2023 where multiple critical suspension failures were identified. While the vehicle has passed its last two tests, the trend suggests that the owner allows wear components to reach a state of failure before addressing them. At 116,089 miles over nine years, this Ford Transit has averaged approximately 12,900 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light commercial use. The mileage accumulation shows steady usage, with roughly 8,300 miles covered between the August 2024 test and another 8,350 miles recorded prior to the September 2025 test. This consistent mileage places high stress on the front end assembly and braking system, which aligns with the recurring mechanical issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The August 2024 test flagged worn front suspension arm bushes, and the 2023 failure involved both fractured coil springs and insecure MacphPherson strut mounts. These issues indicate the front end components are under significant strain or nearing replacement. Additionally, the corroded power steering hose noted in 2023 should be inspected for weeping leaks or further structural degradation, as failure in this area can lead to loss of steering assistance. The braking system shows a clear history of neglect, with pitted and scored discs noted in both 2022 and 2023. While these did not result in immediate failures, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests the brakes are operated near the limit of their service life. An inspector should verify the current thickness of the discs and check the brake calipers for binding or corrosion to ensure the high-mileage usage has not compromised the primary safety system.
