2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV17 FFA

The 2017 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 123,367 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in December 2024 at 118,422 miles and December 2023 at 116,481 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure on 14 December 2023 at 116,481 miles is anomalous as the record shows no defects cited, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was subsequently passed the same day on re-test. The mileage stands at 123,367 against an approximate nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 13,700 miles per annum which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to sustained active use. The gap between the April 2022 test at 107,473 miles and the December 2023 test at 116,481 miles covers twenty months for only 9,008 miles, after which the van covered just 1,941 miles in the following year to December 2024. This tapering of annual use suggests the vehicle entered lighter service or stood idle for periods in its later ownership. Given the absence of any advisories across the five recorded tests, the DVSA history reveals no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A clean sheet over high mileage implies the previous operators addressed consumables before each test rather than letting faults accumulate. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as MOT passes with zero advisories on a 123,000-mile Transit do not guarantee absence of latent fatigue unseen during a road test.
