2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · EN17 AAK

This Ford Transit presents a remarkably clean MOT record, with all tests from 2024 through 2026 passing without a single defect or advisory. The sole failure in February 2023 at 68,500 miles is anomalous, as no defects were recorded, and the vehicle passed three days later at 68,580 miles. This suggests a minor administrative or test procedure issue rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The overall maintenance trend is stable and positive, indicating consistent upkeep and no developing problems. The mileage pattern is typical for a nine-year-old van, averaging roughly 8,286 miles per year. The annual test intervals show steady, moderate usage with no gaps exceeding twelve months or sudden spikes in mileage. The most recent test in March 2026 at 74,577 miles confirms the vehicle is in regular service, not standing idle for long periods. Given the absence of any flagged faults, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection, focusing on common Transit wear points. Check the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar bushes for play, inspect the rear leaf springs for corrosion or cracking, and examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear. Look for structural rust on the chassis rails, sills, and wheel arches, as these areas are prone to corrosion on this model. The clean history is a strong indicator of good care, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains prudent.
