2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LF67 AAZ

A history of clean MOT results in the most recent testing cycles follows a period of minor bodywork and lighting failures in late 2024. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 25 November 2025 with no defects recorded, the 2024 failure involved major defects regarding a defective nearside side repeater lens and damage to both the side repeater and the lower mirror glass. This indicates a brief period where external component integrity was compromised, though the subsequent clean passes in late 2024 and late 2025 show the vehicle has returned to a standard of compliance regarding its lighting and bodywork. The mileage profile shows a steady accumulation of approximately 7,023 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's age. With 63,208 miles recorded, the usage pattern suggests regular, moderate operation rather than heavy commercial strain or long-term stationary periods. From a mechanical perspective, this level of annual mileage typically means that wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes should be progressive rather than accelerated, though it does not preclude the need for thorough inspection of drivetrain components and fluid levels. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system, following an advisory in November 2022 regarding front brake pads wearing thin. Although no further brake-related advisories have appeared in the most recent tests, the previous note warrants a physical inspection of the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic squealing or grinding noises during deceleration and feel for any pedal judder or pulsation, which could indicate uneven disc wear or sticking calipers. Given the previous failures related to the nearside mirror and repeater lens, a close visual inspection of the nearside wing and mirror assembly is necessary to ensure all mounting points are secure and the glass is free from cracks. While the recent records show no structural or suspension defects, the transition from the 2024 bodywork failures to the clean 2025 pass suggests that the external components have been addressed. Ensure that the nearside repeater functions correctly and that the mirror glass is stable and provides clear visibility without vibration.
