2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FY17 MBF

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 91,228 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior annual examinations returned passes with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural faults across its recorded test history. The only blemish is a failed test on 20 January 2023 at 25,901 miles, reversed three days later on 23 January 2023 at identical mileage with no defects logged, which points to an administrative or retest correction rather than a genuine fault. Annual mileage sat at roughly 10,100 miles against a nine-year lifespan, a typical load for this model. The records expose a sharp usage step-up: the van covered only 25,901 miles by January 2023, then jumped to 46,965 by January 2024, 66,964 by January 2025, and 91,228 by January 2026. That equates to around 21,000 miles per year across the last three years, more than double the earlier rate, after a period of light early life use. Given the clean sheet across all passes, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as high annual mileage accumulation since 2023 will accelerate consumable and wear-item fatigue not yet surfaced in MOT advisories. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware warrant a visual check for corrosion or leakage. The January 2023 fail with no defects recorded suggests the owner addressed a documentation or presentation issue swiftly rather than neglecting repair. The absence of tyre, wiper, or structural advisories implies reasonable basic upkeep, but the recent mileage surge means a pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth and binding calipers remains sensible.
