2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV17 TKX

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 12 February 2025 at 144,237 miles. Every recorded MOT from 2021 through 2025 shows a pass with no defects noted, indicating no escalating mechanical faults or recurring advisory patterns across the four-year span. The mileage record shows consistent annual use at a high rate for the vehicle's age. The tester logged 74,848 miles on 9 October 2021, rising to 98,398 by 3 December 2022, then 122,393 on 29 February 2024, and 144,237 at the final test. That averages close to 16,000 miles per year with no standing periods or abrupt gaps, though the 14-month gap between the 2022 and 2024 entries leaves a short untested stretch. The clean sheets at each interval suggest the prior operator kept basic consumables and structure within test limits, but high load cycle use on a Transit chassis demands closer scrutiny than a low-mileage van. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts given the mileage. The MOT record flags no corrosion or brake defects, yet DVSA pass results do not measure remaining disc thickness or incipient underbody rust on a nine-year, 144k-mile commercial vehicle. Examine the exhaust for internal degradation and confirm tyre tread depth across all six positions before purchase. The absence of advisories across four tests implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred fault. Verify service history to corroborate the odometer and check for drivetrain wear such as clutch slip or turbo lag not captured by MOT scrutiny.
