2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV67 EUB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, but the MOT record indicates a deteriorating maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2026-05-28 resulted in a failure at 76,639 miles, followed immediately by a subsequent failure at 76,637 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has not been maintained in the way expected after the first test. This rapid drop in mileage indicates that basic upkeep was skipped, likely due to the owner's reliance on the vehicle for daily transport rather than regular professional servicing. The mileage accumulation is significant, with the vehicle having approximately 9 years of recorded service at 76,639 miles. While the initial test passed at 76,639 miles, the subsequent failure at 76,637 miles suggests that the vehicle was not maintained properly in the first month following the initial pass, creating a gap of roughly 1,000 miles. This pattern of passing then failing within a short period is a classic sign of neglect, where the owner may have driven the car for a long time before attempting a routine MOT, or conversely, the vehicle has been used for extended periods without any preventive maintenance. Given the recurring faults listed in the MOT history, including defects in the rear direction indicator, stop lamps, position lamps, repeaters, and engine mounting, the vehicle carries a high risk of structural and mechanical issues. The specific failure of the rear stop lamp and position lamps, combined with the lack of a rear direction indicator, indicates that the rear suspension bushings and spring systems may have become loose or corroded. The engine mounting damage in the first test is a serious structural risk that could lead to premature failure under normal driving conditions. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension, coil springs, and exhaust emissions immediately to determine if the vehicle is safe to drive or requires immediate professional intervention.
