2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CX67 XEN

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 6 September 2024 at 114,520 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every passing result showing a clean sheet and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The two failure entries from 2022 and 2023 at identical mileages to their paired passes suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as the DVSA record lists no defects on either fail. The van has covered roughly 12,724 miles per year, a high figure for a nine-year-old light commercial. From the 24 August 2022 test at 81,578 miles to the 30 August 2023 test at 101,003 miles it added 19,425 miles in a single year, then only 13,517 miles by September 2024. That taper implies the prior owner reduced usage or the vehicle stood idle for periods. The sparse record shows no flagged wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades and no recurring structural or drivetrain concerns across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the coil springs, steering joints, and subframe for corrosion given the age and high annual mileage typical of Transit vans in trade use. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of binding calipers or worn suspension components, but the 2022 and 2023 dual fail-pass pairs on the same dates warrant confirmation that those entries were clerical and not suppressed mechanical re-tests. Given the lack of advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic pass standard without neglect of critical items. Verify the odometer against service stamps and check for uneven tyre wear that a short MOT interval might miss before purchase.
