2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · HN67 SNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent inspection history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the Transit passed its July July 2025 test at 118,368 miles, it followed a significant failure just three days prior at 118,346 miles. That failure revealed critical issues including dangerously worn brake pads, a split CV boot, and corroded brake piping. This sequence suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 118,368 miles over nine years, this Transit has covered an average of approximately 13,152 miles per year. The data shows a notable spike in usage between July 2024 and July 2025, where the vehicle clocked 23,945 miles in a single year. This rapid mileage accumulation places significant strain on heavy-duty components, particularly the drivetrain and suspension system. The clean records from 2023 and 2024 contrast sharply with the recent mechanical failures, implying the vehicle has recently been subjected to heavier commercial use than its earlier history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end suspension and braking system. The split nearside front CV boot noted in 2025 is a primary indicator of impending drive shaft failure if the grease has been fully displaced. Furthermore, the corrosion on the offside front brake pipe requires close scrutiny to ensure the metal degradation has not progressed, as such issues can lead to sudden fluid loss. Given the previous engine management malfunction light failure in 2023, a diagnostic scan is advisable to ensure no hidden electrical faults remain stored in the system.
