Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those needing a workhorse, provided the service history matches the clean MOT record. The vehicle has maintained a consistent passing streak without recorded defects over the last five years.
When inspecting this 2.0L diesel Transit, your priority should be verifying the service intervals. Given the high mileage of 122,984, you must confirm that oil changes and essential component checks have been performed regularly, as MOT records do not show mechanical maintenance.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean of defects, the vehicle has covered much more ground than the average Transit in this dataset. Check for signs of heavy load wear on the suspension and interior cab areas, and ensure the timing belt/water pump has been replaced according to Ford's recommended intervals for this engine size.
Running costs for this 1995cc diesel model will be influenced heavily by its usage profile. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized van, though heavy loads will impact this. Insurance groups for Transits vary widely depending on the driver's profile and load capacity.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher than a passenger car due to the wear and tear associated with high-mileage commercial use. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should prepare for typical consumables like tyres and brakes. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,800-£2,400, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Although this specific vehicle has had no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model highlights headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars as common failure points. Inspect the headlamp alignment and bulb condition, check the tread depth and sidewall integrity of all tyres, and look for any play in the anti-roll bar links.
Additionally, because the mileage is high, inspect the clutch and gearbox for smoothness, and check the underside for any signs of heavy corrosion or damage that might not have been caught in previous tests. Look closely at the suspension components, as high-mileage vans often show wear in the bushings and dampers.
This 2017 Ford Transit, finished in White, has covered 122,984 miles as of its most recent MOT in November 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,900 miles per year, the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects since 2021. This suggests the vehicle has been used extensively, likely for commercial purposes, but has met the minimum legal standards consistently.
The Ford Transit shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4% across the 731,415 vehicles analysed, suggesting common maintenance requirements across the fleet.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR FoulingModerate
Urban stop-start use and long idling clog the DPF and EGR system, leading to repeat limp-mode faults and expensive cleaning or replacement.
- Dual-Mass Flywheel and Clutch WearSerious
Repeated heavy launches and towing can wear out the clutch and DMF, causing rattles, slip and expensive gearbox-out repairs.
- Early 2.0 EcoBlue Wet Belt DegradationSerious
Late pre-facelift Euro 6 vans introduced the oil-bath timing belt; missed servicing or the wrong oil can make the belt shed material and starve the engine of oil pressure.
