2017 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CV67 FSD

The 2017 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 42,205 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from May 2022 to June 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 9 May 2022 at 39,054 miles that the DVSA logged with no defects recorded, followed by a pass the next day at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the pattern since shows no recurring advisories or worsening condition. The mileage record shows very low use for a nine-year-old van. The vehicle covered just 39,054 miles by May 2022, then added only 3,151 miles over the following three years to reach 42,205 miles at the June 2025 test. That averages roughly 4,700 miles per year. The gap between the May 2023 test at 39,360 miles and the June 2024 test at 40,881 miles shows about 1,500 miles in thirteen months. Such low accumulation points to light duties or extended standing periods, with no rapid wear cycles evident in the data. A clean MOT history with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion means the records give no cause for alarm on structural or mechanical integrity. The buyer should still confirm in person that long idle spells have not led to perished rubber components, seized calipers, or underbody rust not yet visible to the tester. Check the condition of tyres and wiper blades for age cracking rather than tread wear. Given the sparse but consistent pass record, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current despite minimal use. The one-day fail in May 2022 with zero defects logged is not a red flag for neglect. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible, but the DVSA trail supports a verdict of sound roadworthiness with no flagged trends of decline.
