Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to exceptionally high mileage for the vehicle age. While the MOT history is clean, the usage profile suggests heavy commercial use which may lead to significant mechanical wear.
The primary concern for this vehicle is the mileage. At over 350,000 miles, major components such as the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and suspension bushings are likely nearing the end of their operational lives. You must request a comprehensive service history to verify if critical items like timing belts and water pumps have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals for the heavy use it has endured.
When negotiating, consider that the mileage is far above the industry average of 8,900 miles per year for this model. Look for signs of engine strain, such as hesitation or blue smoke from the exhaust, which can be common in high-mileage 2.0L EcoBlue engines.
As a 2.0L diesel Transit, fuel economy will be dependent on load and driving, but expect typical van-range figures. Tax and insurance groups will depend on the specific trim and driver profile, but Transits generally fall into higher insurance brackets than passenger cars.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than a lower-mileage example because parts wear out more quickly. You should budget for frequent replacements of consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components due to the wear and tear associated with such high mileage.
Focus your inspection on the undercarriage and suspension; the anti-roll bar is noted as a common failure point for this model, and while not flagged in this vehicle's recent history, the mileage makes it a likely candidate. Check for any oil leaks around the engine block and gearbox, as high-mileage seals often suffer from seal degradation.
Inspect the tyres and headlamps specifically, as these are common MOT failure reasons for Transits. Given the 354,615-mile reading, perform a thorough test drive to listen for knocking noises or vibrations that could indicate internal engine wear or worn bearings.
This 2017 Ford Transit has covered over 354,000 miles, which is significantly higher than the national average for a 9-year-old light commercial. Although it has passed its last three MOT tests between 2021 and 2023 without recorded defects, the sheer volume of mileage—roughly 48,000 miles per year—indicates it was used for long-distance commercial work or heavy fleet operations.
The Ford Transit is generally a robust workhorse, but high-mileage units are prone to suspension wear and diesel-specific system issues.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR FoulingModerate
Urban stop-start use and long idling clog the DPF and EGR system, leading to repeat limp-mode faults and expensive cleaning or replacement.
- Dual-Mass Flywheel and Clutch WearSerious
Repeated heavy launches and towing can wear out the clutch and DMF, causing rattles, slip and expensive gearbox-out repairs.
- Early 2.0 EcoBlue Wet Belt DegradationSerious
Late pre-facelift Euro 6 vans introduced the oil-bath timing belt; missed servicing or the wrong oil can make the belt shed material and starve the engine of oil pressure.
