2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · KS67 VHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 183,562 miles shows the vehicle passed after a failure just two days prior. While the immediate faults regarding smashed indicator lenses and thin brake pads were addressed, the presence of an offside front anti-roll bar ball joint failure in the same test period indicates that mechanical components are only being replaced once they reach a point of critical failure during an inspection. The mileage profile reflects high usage, covering 183,562 miles over nine years, which averages to approximately 20,000 miles per annum. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 29,027 miles in a single twelve-month period. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy heavy commercial application, which naturally accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The consistent annual testing shows the vehicle is in constant use, but the high mileage places significant strain on all consumable wear items. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The 2024 failure noted a rough offside front wheel bearing, while the 2025 failure identified a split dust cover on the anti-roll bar link. The recurring history of pitted and corroded brake discs noted in 2024 suggests the vehicle may sit for short periods or operate in environments that accelerate oxidation. Furthermore, the recurring issues with uneven tyre wear and damage across 2023 and 2024 point to potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification to prevent premature tyre replacement.
