2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · HX67 CWN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on August 4, 2023, at 141,208 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded, suggesting that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevented immediate mechanical or safety-related failures. The consistency of clean passes across the last four years indicates a lack of recurring structural issues or neglect of critical components. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 15,700 miles per annum. Between the 2020 test at 76,042 miles and August 2023 at 141,208 miles, the vehicle covered over 65,000 miles in just three years. This rapid accumulation is typical for a Ford Transit used in a work capacity but accelerates the wear of heavy-duty components. While the MOT record is clean, the high total mileage of 141,208 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension assembly compared to lower-mile counterparts. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to fatigue under heavy loads. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushes for perished and check coil springs for signs of sagging or cracking, as these often fail before an MOT threshold. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the high-mileage cycles often lead to uneven pad wear. Additionally, inspecting the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear mounting points, is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains uncompromised after years of heavy service.
