2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV67 FVR

A recurring pattern of suspension wear and emerging corrosion defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, which passed its most recent inspection on 20 February 2026. The record shows a trend of failures involving critical safety components, including dangerous tyre tread depths, missing road wheel fixings, and excessively worn front suspension arm bushes. Current advisories highlight corrosion on both the front and rear brake pipes, as well as a persistent oil leak. The recorded mileage of 163,896 miles over approximately nine years represents a high annual average of 18,211 miles. This level of usage typically results in accelerated wear of the drivetrain, braking systems, and suspension components. Such high mileage increases the probability of fatigue in rubber bushings and structural components compared to vehicles with lower annual accumulation. Prospective buyers should focus on the front suspension and drivetrain, given the history of worn suspension arm bushes and deteriorated constant velocity boots. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when driving over bumps or during tight turns, which may indicate further degradation of the suspension linkages. The corrosion noted on the brake pipes requires a detailed physical inspection, specifically where grease or other materials have been applied, to determine the actual extent of the oxidation. The oil leak, which has been flagged as an advisory since September 2023, requires a thorough check of the engine bay and underside for active seepage or residue. Additionally, the recent failure for dangerous tyre tread depth and previous notes on inner edge wear suggest a need to verify current tyre condition and wheel alignment. Any steering pull or vibration at speed should be noted as a potential symptom of the previously flagged suspension and alignment issues.
