2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CP17 PVD

The 2017 Ford Transit is presently roadworthy, as the most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 at 164,033 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The earlier pass on 3 July 2024 at 141,786 miles, together with the 2025 result, indicates a stable maintenance record despite a failure noted on the same date, suggesting that any previously identified issues were corrected before the latest assessment. The mileage has climbed from 97,951 miles in July 2022 to 164,033 miles by July 2025, an increase of roughly 66,082 miles over three years, or about 22,000 miles per annum, which is high for a nine‑year‑old van. Annual testing intervals are evident, with no extended periods of inactivity observed, and the consistent rise points to heavy use that can accelerate wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, sagging coil springs and binding rear brakes, as these components are prone to fatigue under high mileage. Inspection of the brake discs and calipers for scoring or corrosion, verification that the exhaust system meets emission standards without leaks, and examination of the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust around the load floor and side sills are essential, since corrosion can compromise integrity. Finally, checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and confirming that any previous advisories were fully addressed will give a clear picture of the vehicle’s ongoing durability and care history.
