2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FN17 FHA

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 10 December 2024 at 115,306 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests on 9 December 2023 at 102,908 miles and 21 September 2021 at 78,339 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with test standards. The recorded mileage of 115,306 over approximately nine years equates to roughly 12,800 miles per annum, which is high for a vehicle of this age and points to sustained commercial or delivery use. Between the September 2021 test at 78,339 miles and the September 2022 test at 93,302 miles the van covered about 15,000 miles, then a further 9,600 by December 2023. A duplicate entry on 10 September 2022 shows both a fail and pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, likely an administrative reversal rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. The sparse, clean record gives limited insight into wear cycles but confirms no flagged neglect. Given the high annual mileage and Transit class, a buyer should physically inspect front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear for fatigue not captured in the clean MOT entries. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware warrant checks for high-load deterioration. Structural underbody corrosion around chassis rails and sills should be assessed, as the tests recorded no corrosion advisories despite the van's age and use. No recurring faults appear in the history to suggest worsening conditions. The absence of advisories across five years implies previous operators addressed issues pre-test or the vehicle endured light mechanical stress relative to its mileage. A pre-purchase inspection remains advisable to confirm live component condition beyond DVSA snapshots.
