2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · JK13 ASH

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 79,253 miles. Despite a conflicting ‘FAILED’ entry on the same date, the absence of recorded defects suggests this may reflect a data anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed no defects, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging faults. The vehicle’s mechanical condition appears to have remained stable over the last three years, with no signs of deterioration in critical systems. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,806 miles annually. The intervals between MOTs are regular, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage. From 56,063 miles in 2022 to 79,253 miles in 2025, the increase is gradual, suggesting consistent operation rather than periods of inactivity or excessive wear. This pattern reduces concerns about accelerated component degradation, though the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into potential minor issues like tyre wear or fluid leaks. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points in vans of this age. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant close examination for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop without immediate MOT failures. Structural corrosion, especially under the vehicle, should also be checked, as it often progresses unnoticed. While the MOT history shows no red flags, these areas remain critical for long-term reliability.
