2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV67 EUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of deferred repairs regarding component wear items. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 99,925 miles passed, it revealed a high volume of advisories across the suspension, brakes, and tyres. The recurring nature of these faults over the last two annual cycles suggests that the previous owner is only addressing issues when necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 99,925 miles, this nine-year-old Transit has covered an average distance of approximately 11,100 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the August 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 10,000 miles recorded by August 2025. This steady mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the progressive degradation observed on the rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the lower arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025. These components are likely nearing the end of their operational life and will require replacement soon. The rear brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored for two consecutive years, indicating significant surface corrosion or heat damage that may affect braking efficiency. Furthermore, the offside front wheel bearing which failed in August 2024 should be checked for any residual noise or play. The latest record also highlights signs of cracking and perishing on multiple tyres, which suggests the rubber compound is aged and potentially prone to structural failure regardless of remaining tread depth. The defective nearside side repeater lens remains a minor recurring issue that reflects a lack of attention to non-mechanical defects. Given the volume of mechanical advisories, a prospective buyer should budget for an immediate overhaul of the suspension and brakes to bring the vehicle up to a truly sound standard.
