2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CH17 AMB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 17 July 2025 at 79,074 miles passed with no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of perfect passes across the last five years. This suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical or safety issues from reaching the testing threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. Between the June 2021 test at 38,066 miles and the 2025 test at 79,074 miles, the Transit covered 41,008 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage rate. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest neglect or long periods of stationary use, which often leads to seized brake calipers or degradation of rubber components in older vans. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Ford Transit of this age. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the inspector should check for early signs of corrosion on the structural sills and rear arches, as these are often only flagged once they become significant. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also vital, as these are the first components to fatigue on heavy-duty vehicles despite a clean MOT history.
