2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CU67 WAE

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 137,069 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in September 2024 at 121,935 miles and September 2023 at 108,445 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 25 September 2023 at 108,445 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or process failure rather than a mechanical fault on the same day as the passing retest. The van has covered roughly 15,230 miles per year, high for a nine-year-old vehicle and consistent with hard commercial use. Mileage climbed from 88,325 at the September 2022 test to 108,445 by September 2023, then to 121,935 in September 2024 and 137,069 by December 2025. The gap between the September 2024 pass and the December 2025 pass spans fifteen months rather than twelve, suggesting the owner delayed the renewal slightly. No rapid accumulation spikes appear; the yearly increments stay near the long-run average. The clean advisory history across all tests implies previous owners kept on top of consumables and avoided letting suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust corrosion reach flagged condition. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity underneath, given the high annual mileage and age, as chassis rust and worn coil springs on Transits often escape MOT advisories until advanced. Verify the brake calipers are free and the load floor shows no fatigue. Given the sparse but clean record, the absence of recurring faults means no worsening mechanical trend exists. The buyer should commission a pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain components and underbody corrosion to confirm the paper record matches physical condition before completion.
