2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · KU17 CDY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 06 May 2025 at 125,049 miles. While the vehicle failed a test just eleven days prior on 25 April 2025 at the same mileage, the subsequent pass without recorded defects indicates that identified issues were rectified immediately. The maintenance trend appears stable as no recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories have appeared across the five recorded tests dating back to 2021. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 13,900 miles per year over its nine-year life. A significant surge in usage occurred between April 2021 and August 2022, where the vehicle covered 25,868 miles in just 16 months. The rate of accumulation remained high between August 2023 and May 2025, logging another 14,584 miles in under two years. This high annual mileage places considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is typical for a Ford Transit of this age and specification. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the high mileage often leads to premature wear of rubber components in heavy vehicles. Given the failure in April 2025, the braking system should be specifically checked for signs of binding calipers or thin discs. Although the MOT record is clean of structural corrosion, a thorough check of the chassis and members for surface rust is necessary to ensure the high-mileage operation has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
