2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LL17 TSX

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy at its most recent examination. The February 2026 test at 144,210 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults carried between tests. The recorded mileage of 144,210 against a 2017 build equates to roughly 16,000 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to sustained daily use rather than intermittent standing. The records show a jump from 107,010 miles at the June 2023 pass to 136,557 miles by May 2024, an accumulation of near 29,500 miles in eleven months, followed by a slower 7,653 miles to the 2026 test. Both the 2023 and 2024 entries show a fail and pass on the same or adjacent dates with no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. Given the clean defect history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as high annual mileage on a Transit chassis typically loads these components ahead of MOT detection thresholds. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is favourable, but nine years of winter road salt exposure warrants a physical check of sills and chassis rails. The repeated same-day fail-pass anomalies without recorded defects suggest the previous keeper used a single testing site that processed rectification quickly, not a pattern of neglected upkeep. Verify service intervals against the mileage curve before purchase, as consumable wear on this usage profile will outpace a low-mileage equivalent.
