2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LC66 ABN

The 2017 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 21 June 2025 at 278,722 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in June 2024 at 268,383 miles and June 2023 at 261,259 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 10 June 2023 at 261,257 miles, though the record shows no defects listed; a retest five days later passed, suggesting either a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. This vehicle has covered 278,722 miles in roughly nine years, an average of near 31,000 miles per year and high for its age. Mileage accumulation is steady rather than sporadic: 224,211 miles in June 2022, rising to 261,259 by June 2023, 268,383 by June 2024, and 278,722 by June 2025. The sparse five-entry history shows no prolonged standing periods and no rapid jumps that would imply commercial abuse beyond normal high-use van operation. Clean passes across consecutive years indicate the previous operator kept statutory test standards met, though high annual distances inevitably load suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on chassis rails and sills, as the MOT record notes no advisories but a high-mileage Transit of this era commonly hides rust beneath bodywork. The tester flagged no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues, yet the absence of advisories at 278,722 miles may reflect test tolerance rather than component condition. Given the failed-but-undefected entry in June 2023 and the vehicle's heavy use, verify service history for clutch, turbo, and gearbox wear not captured by MOT. The clean recent record implies disciplined test compliance, but mileages demand scrutiny of consumables like tyres and wiper blades ahead of purchase.
