2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CU67 RDV

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2017 Ford Transit presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend. The most recent test, conducted on 29 October 2025 at 107,635 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome is not an isolated result. It extends an unbroken five-year sequence of first-time passes with no advisories or failures, stretching back to November 2021. For a commercial vehicle of this age and type, such a record indicates diligent routine servicing and a proactive approach to component replacement before issues escalate to failure point. The mileage accumulation pattern is steady and unremarkable, which is a positive indicator. Between the November 2021 test at 55,432 miles and the October 2025 test at 107,635 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 52,203 miles over nearly four years, averaging around 13,000 miles annually. This aligns closely with the vehicle's overall lifetime average of roughly 11,959 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps in the MOT record that would suggest the vehicle stood idle for extended periods, nor are there any abrupt spikes in mileage that might indicate sustained high-intress commercial abuse. The annual test dates are consistent, typically falling in late October or early November, suggesting a regular servicing cycle. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of wear. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor for corrosion, a common issue on high-mileage Transits, particularly around cross-members and outriggers. Suspension components, including front lower arm bushes, rear leaf spring shackles, and shock absorbers, should be checked for play and deterioration, as these items degrade gradually and may not trigger an MOT advisory until severely worn. The braking system demands close attention. Inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the operation of the rear brake calipers, which are prone to sticking on this model. Tyre condition and tread depth across all wheels, including the spare if fitted, should be verified, as uneven wear can indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues not yet flagged by the tester.
