2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV67 EUZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding deteriorating rubber and metal components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 72,052 miles passed, it carried multiple significant advisories that indicate a lack of preventative maintenance. The progression of faults in the front ball joint dust covers from worn bushes in 2023 to severe deterioration in 2025 suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach a failure point. At 72,052 miles, the aging Ford Transit has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial use for its age. The mileage data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not suffering from extreme neglect, but the low annual mileage relative to its age correlates with the observed degradation of rubber parts, such as the recurring cracking in the tyres noted across multiple years. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The offside front brake pipe has shown corrosion in both 2024 and 2025, and the presence of grease on the line may hide further fluid leaks or structural thinning. Furthermore, the severe deterioration of the ball joint dust covers and the previous failure of the CV boots indicate that the drivetrain and suspension are at risk of debris ingress, which leads to premature joint failure. The recurring mention of cracking and perishing on the rear tyres since 2022 indicates the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of remaining tread depth.
