2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CE17 FTT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at 96,383 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle consistently clears the test following initial failures. While the recorded failures in June 2024 and 2025 suggest that minor issues required rectification prior to certification, the subsequent clean pass sheets indicate that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical commercial usage for a Ford Transit, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 73,986 miles and June 2024 at 86,442 miles, the vehicle covered 12,456 miles. The most recent interval saw 9,941 miles covered between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven frequently, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, given the vehicle's age. Although the MOT record does not detail specific failures, high-mileage vans often suffer from wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints. Inspect the chassis for signs of corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as structural integrity is vital for this model. Since the vehicle failed tests twice recently before passing, verify the current condition of the brake discs and check for any binding calipers to ensure the previous issues were properly addressed rather than temporarily masked.
