2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FX67 WWH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of neglected braking system component care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 63,925 miles passed, the tester flagged recurring issues including pitted rear brake discs and corroded rear brake pipes. These specific faults have appeared in every annual inspection since a major failure in 2020 where all four brake discs were weakened, indicating that the owner has opted for reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a notable gap between July 2020 and June 2021 where the vehicle covered only 6,000 miles, but since 2022, usage has remained steady at roughly 6,000 to 6,500 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle sits for extended periods, which likely explains the accelerated surface corrosion on the brake pipes and discs noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to assess the extent of the corrosion on the brake pipes. The repeated mentions of pitted and scored discs suggest the calipers may be seizing or that moisture is building up due to infrequent use. Additionally, the buyer should check the tyres for uneven wear, as the 2022 and 2025 tests both flagged tyres worn to the legal limit, pointing to a pattern of neglect regarding basic consumable items despite the low overall mileage.
