2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LF67 ADX

The 2017 Ford Transit demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-29 confirming no defects at 138,993 miles. This follows a 2024-11-11 pass at 123,884 miles and a prior 2023-10-25 pass at 108,209 miles. While two consecutive failures occurred in 2024-11-08 (123,882 miles) and 2023-10-23 (108,208 miles), neither recorded defects, suggesting minor or resolved issues. The absence of critical failures in the last 18 months indicates consistent maintenance, though the vehicle’s high annual mileage of 15,444 miles raises concerns about accelerated wear on components. The mileage pattern reveals rapid accumulation, with 15,444 miles added annually since 2017. This exceeds typical usage, increasing risk of premature wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The 2023-10-25 test at 108,209 miles and subsequent 2024-11-11 pass at 123,884 miles show a 15,675-mile jump, which could strain drivetrain and braking systems. The lack of structural corrosion or emission issues in the record is positive, but high mileage without documented major repairs warrants caution. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s frequent use. Corrosion in underbody panels or chassis joints is another risk, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh conditions. While the MOT history lacks critical failures, the combination of age, mileage, and rapid usage suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase evaluation of mechanical and structural integrity.
