2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV67 EUT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 74,942 miles and no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the significant failure in late 2024. While the vehicle previously struggled with multiple mechanical and visibility issues, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the previous owner has addressed the priority safety-related faults identified during the prior inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles annually. The data shows steady usage, with 6,900 miles covered between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,015 miles recorded between December 2024 and December 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and seals, despite the occasional wear noted on consumables. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension and braking system. The December 2024 failure flagged worn front suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides alongside pitted and scored front brake discs. Although these were cleared in the subsequent pass, the recurring nature of suspension wear suggests components may be nearing the end of their service life. A buyer should check for any play in the steering geometry and verify that the front brake discs are not showing signs of thinning or uneven wear. Visibility and lighting also warrant attention given the previous windscreen damage and wiper failure mentioned in the 2024 record. While these were rectified, the buyer must ensure the glass remains free of new chips and that the wipers function effectively without streaking. The previous presence of a nail in the offside rear tyre indicates a need to check the current tread depth and ensure a proper repair was made rather than a temporary fix.
