2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV67 LPC

The Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 12 February 2026 at 145,449 miles, though the maintenance trend is unstable due to repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, but two days earlier on 10 February 2026 the same mileage of 145,449 returned a failure with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A prior identical pattern occurred on 28 January 2025 at 139,037 miles, where a fail with no defects preceded a pass on the same date. These paired failures with zero recorded defects suggest the vehicle was presented incorrectly or paperwork was unresolved, not that the van suffered worsening mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 145,449 over roughly nine years equates to about 16,161 miles per year, which is high for a 2017 light commercial and points to sustained hard use. Between the 14 November 2023 test at 126,399 miles and the 28 January 2025 test at 139,037 miles the van covered 12,638 miles in fourteen months, then added only 6,412 miles across the following twelve months to February 2026. The DVSA record is sparse, with every test showing no advisories or defects, so no wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion was formally flagged at any stage. A buyer should still inspect the suspension and steering components in person given the high annual mileage and absence of any advisory history that might mask gradual wear. Check the rear coil springs, subframe mounts, and brake calipers for binding or uneven pad deposit, since the test data offers no evidence either way. Examine the chassis and sills for structural rust and confirm the exhaust emissions match normal diesel tolerances, as the clean MOT sheet provides no insight into underlying condition. The recurring no-defect failures warrant verification of the V5C and DVSA test logs to rule out clerical anomalies before purchase.
