Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this Transit, you should negotiate based on the cost of the items flagged in the latest MOT. Specifically, the nearside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and the offside rear brake pipe is noted as corroded. Ensure these have been addressed or factored into your offer.
Request evidence of any recent work carried out to rectify the suspension arm bush issues noted in both 2024 and 2026. Because this is a diesel workhorse with high mileage, check the service history for regular oil changes, though the MOT records alone do not confirm maintenance levels.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Transit is designed for efficiency under load, but running costs will depend heavily on your annual mileage. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary based on specific payload and engine tuning, so obtain a quote before purchasing.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage typically include regular servicing, brake replacements, and suspension component refreshes. Given the recent MOT advisories for tyres and brake pipes, expect some initial outlay shortly after purchase.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The 2026 MOT highlighted a corroded offside rear brake pipe, which is a critical safety item; check that this has been replaced or treated. You should also inspect the nearside front tyre to ensure it meets legal tread depth requirements.
Additionally, examine the front suspension. The MOT history shows recurring issues with the offside front suspension arm pin or bush (noted in 2024 and 2026). Test the vehicle for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate that the suspension wear has progressed beyond the 'not resulting in excessive movement' stage noted in the records.
This 2017 Ford Transit (FE17AAU) has covered 119,191 miles since its first registration in August 2017. The MOT history shows a pattern of mechanical wear, specifically regarding suspension components and braking systems. While it has passed its tests, the most recent inspection on 04/09/2026 recorded multiple advisories that suggest upcoming maintenance requirements.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failure points including headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
