2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · DA16 YOW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-22 at 136,352 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current compliance. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects noted, creating ambiguity. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no issues, suggesting a stable maintenance trend in prior years. The lack of recorded defects in recent years implies routine upkeep, though the high mileage of 15,150 annual miles for its age raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 105,534 miles in 2022 rising to 136,352 by 2026. Gaps between tests extend to 14 months between 2024-12-04 and 2026-01-22, which may indicate infrequent inspections. This pattern, combined with the high annual mileage, suggests frequent use that could stress consumables and structural elements. The absence of corrosion, emissions, or structural issues in the record is positive but does not confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the tested components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake components for uneven wear or binding calipers. The exhaust system and underbody should be scrutinised for rust, as prolonged use increases corrosion risk. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage profile warrants a thorough pre-purchase check to verify that maintenance has addressed wear from heavy annual mileage.
