2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · MJ17 KWD

The Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent DVSA test on 24 November 2025 at 120,355 miles, some eight months before today's date, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with only a single anomalous failure logged on 2 December 2024 at 113,254 miles showing no defects cited before a same-day pass at 113,255 miles. That irregularity aside, the vehicle cleared every other annual examination without advisories. Mileage sits high for a nine-year-old van, totalling 120,355 miles or roughly 13,400 per year. The records show 83,116 miles on 3 December 2022, jumping to 103,856 by 4 December 2023, a heavy 20,740-mile spell. Accumulation then eased to 113,255 on 2 December 2024 and 120,355 by November 2025, reflecting slower use. Annual testing continuity is unbroken, and the clean sheets imply previous keepers attended to statutory checks promptly rather than deferring upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, exhaust emissions and structural corrosion despite the absence of flagged faults. The lack of advisories does not exempt a high-mileage Transit from wear in these areas. The December 2024 fail with no listed defect warrants a DVSA data check to rule out a mileage discrepancy or administrative error. Previous owners appear to have maintained test compliance, yet the sparse record leaves consumable replacements such as tyres and wiper blades unverified. Inspect for uneven tyre tread and seek proof of recent service. The drivetrain has covered distance that demands scrutiny of clutch and turbo if diesel. Overall the evidence supports a mechanically sound example pending hands-on verification.
