2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · DD17 RPD

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 4 February 2026 at 91,015 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the test with no defects logged, and prior examinations also returned clean results. This indicates consistent statutory compliance, though the record shows a peculiar pattern of same-day fail-and-pass pairs that warrants scrutiny. The van has covered 91,015 miles over approximately nine years, averaging 10,113 miles annually which is typical for a 2017 light commercial. Mileage progression is steady: 80,553 miles on 19 December 2023, 80,561 the next day, 86,008 by 21 January 2025, and 91,015 at the February 2026 test. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps emerge from the data, and the sparse clean record gives little basis for concern over consumable neglect. The two failures dated 19 December 2023 at 80,553 miles and 4 February 2026 at 91,013 miles both recorded no defects, suggesting administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificates for those dates to confirm the reasons for rejection were procedural. Given the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the structural and mechanical integrity shows no flagged risk in the official record. In person, the buyer should confirm tyre condition, wiper operation, and underbody for any latent corrosion not captured by the tester. The clean advisory history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the same-day fail-pass entries at 80,553 and 91,013 miles point to possible test centre errors or late paperwork that the buyer must reconcile before purchase.
