2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · EU67 NHY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a minor trend of recurring suspension component wear. The most recent test in July 2025 at 88,331 miles identified slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This follows a similar mechanical wear pattern noted in July 2022, where the nearside front track rod end also exhibited slight play. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the repeated flagging of steering and suspension linkages suggests these components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 12,335 miles covered between July 2022 and July 2023, and another 8,341 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber seals and mechanical components. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the anti-roll bar and track rod end wear. The July 2022 record highlighted two front tyres worn to the legal limit with edge wear, indicating potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that should be verified. Additionally, the windscreen chip noted in August 2024 should be checked to ensure it has not developed into larger cracks that could compromise the structural integrity of the glass in future tests.
