2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CY17 LRF

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 18 July 2025 at 78,667 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, mirroring an identical pattern from July 2024. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration, as no advisories or faults appear in any entry from 2023 to 2025. Mileage has accumulated at a modest rate for a nine-year-old van. The record shows 65,149 miles at the July 2023 test, rising to 70,614 by July 2024 and 78,667 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,500 miles per year, consistent with light commercial use. No abrupt jumps or standing periods are evident, and the clean pass history with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper addressed consumables before each annual test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis, as MOT records with no advisories do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or suspension mounting faces. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2024 and 2025 warrant verification that the correct vehicle and mileage were logged, and that no suppressed advisory existed on the failed certificates. Given the sparse but clean history, focus the viewing on brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes for fatigue not yet captured by DVSA testers. The low annual mileage implies these components may have aged through time rather than cycle count, so perishing rubber and seized linkages remain plausible despite the unblemished record.
