2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV17 EYZ

The 2017 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following a pass at 105,511 miles on 30 June 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows a clean result with no defects logged, though the prior attempt on 18 June 2025 recorded a failure at 105,508 miles with no defects cited, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or structural concerns appear across any entry in the sequence. Annual mileage averages 11,723 against the vehicle's nine-year life, a typical load for a Transit of this age. The records show steady accumulation: 73,045 miles in June 2022, 86,366 in June 2023, 96,336 in June 2024, and 105,511 by June 2025. The roughly 9,000 to 10,000 mile yearly increments reflect consistent commercial use without abrupt spikes or dormant periods. The sparse test history, with only five entries and zero advisories, gives limited insight into wear cycles but suggests the van cleared each annual examination without flagged consumable or mechanical defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The unexplained failure on 18 June 2025 warrants scrutiny of the VOSA refusal reason, even though the retest passed twelve days later at near-identical mileage. Check for corrosion on chassis rails and body mounts, and verify the exhaust emissions system, since the record offers no early warning on these items. Previous keepers maintained the test schedule without lapses, and the absence of repeat failures points to basic upkeep rather than deferred work. The clean run from 2022 to 2024 and the 2025 pass imply the drivetrain and structure held sound through moderate duty. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus the pre-purchase check on tyre condition, wiper operation, and underbody rust not visible in MOT data.
