2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FE67 AEK

The 2017 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 5 March 2026 at 71,602 miles recording a pass and no defects. The 3 March 2025 examination at 65,059 miles passed cleanly. The 5 March 2024 test at 62,374 miles also showed no faults. An irregular entry occurs on 25 January 2024 when the tester issued a fail at 62,372 miles yet logged no defects, with a subsequent pass two weeks later after just two miles accrued. This anomaly points to administrative or presentation error rather than mechanical decline. Mileage data indicates light use for a nine year old van. Total recorded distance of 71,602 miles averages 7,956 miles per year. The test history reveals a decelerating pattern. From the 2 February 2023 assessment at 61,651 miles to the 2026 test, the vehicle covered only 9,951 miles over three years, roughly 3,300 miles annually. The negligible two mile interval between the January 2024 fail and March 2024 pass suggests prolonged stationary period or immediate re-test. Sparse MOT entries with zero advisories imply the former keeper upheld statutory checks, though absence of defect notes limits visibility of consumable wear. Prospective buyers must still verify mechanical and structural condition in person given the clean record. A pass with no defects does not quantify suspension bush degradation, coil spring condition, brake disc wear or covert chassis corrosion. Inspect rear suspension mounts and calipers for binding, evaluate exhaust emissions under load, and measure tyre tread beyond minimum limits. The unexplained January 2024 failure requires scrutiny of V5C documentation and test certificates to confirm no clerical omission. Overall the vehicle shows no recurring fault trend, but physical appraisal remains prudent.
