2017 Ford Transit Custom 290 2.0L Diesel · FE67 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection on 16 October 2025 at 145,105 miles showed no defects, maintaining the trend established across the last five recorded tests. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues and safety concerns before they resulted in failure during the annual testing process. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a nine-year-old van, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between September 2020 (71,627 miles) and June 2022 (116,980 miles), representing over 45,000 miles covered in less than two years. Since then, the accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 8,000 miles added annually. This high-mileage pattern suggests the vehicle was likely used in a heavy commercial capacity, which typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. Given the high mileage and commercial nature, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to heavy-duty fatigue. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show significant wear under heavy loads. The brake system should also be examined for signs of worn-out calipers or uneven wear on the discs, despite the clean MOT records. While the recorded history is positive, the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points should be verified for corrosion to ensure the high-mileage usage has not compromised the frame over time.
