2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV67 EUW

The 2017 Ford Transit remains roadworthy following the August 28, 2025 MOT at 233,580 miles, which recorded no defects. The vehicle passed after a failure on August 23, 2025, indicating that the issues identified then were remedied before the subsequent test, showing an improving then stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen sharply since the August 31, 2024 test at 200,259 miles, reaching 233,580 by August 28, 2025, an increase of 33,321 miles in one year, and a total accumulation of roughly 25,953 miles per year since the vehicle was first registered in 2017. The interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests covered 30,972 miles, while the 2022 to 2023 interval added 30,364 miles, showing consistent high usage with no extended periods of low mileage. Recurring faults centre on the suspension system: the near‑side front suspension arm ball joint dust cover was noted as deteriorated in 2024 and again in 2025, and the near‑side rear wheel bearing exhibited excessive play in the August 23, 2025 test. Tyre wear also recurs, with the near‑side front tyre tread falling below the 1.6 mm legal limit in 2025 and the near‑side rear tyre worn close to the limit in 2025, while the off‑side rear stop lamp failed in 2025. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of all suspension arms, ball joints and bushes for wear or missing dust covers, verify tyre tread depth on all four wheels, check the rear wheel bearing for play, test the functionality of rear stop lamps and brake components, and look for any signs of structural rust or previous repair quality.
