2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FH17 RBU

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 11 February 2026 at 120,081 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 10 February 2026 at 120,079 miles, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either event. Such a back-to-back fail-pass with zero recorded faults points to an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, and the vehicle has carried no advisories or failures across any prior annual examination. Annual mileage averages 13,342 across the van's nine years, a high figure for a 2017 model that signals sustained commercial use. The records show steady accumulation: 77,358 miles in February 2023, 96,981 by February 2024, 113,048 by February 2025, and 120,081 by February 2026. The owner added roughly 17,000 to 20,000 miles each year with no standing gaps, and the sparse five-entry history contains no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the high annual mileage and winter salt exposure typical of Transits. The clean MOT sheet offers no warning on coil springs, brake discs, or binding calipers, but the lack of advisories across 43,000 miles of recent use suggests testers may have logged only mandatory failures rather than wear trends. Verify the 10 February 2026 failure reason with the test centre, as the nil-defect record is irregular. Check the drivetrain and clutch for fatigue from constant load cycles, and confirm service history matches the 120,081-mile odometer before purchase.
