Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this vehicle, focus heavily on the suspension and braking systems. The most recent MOT in October 2025 flagged thin front brake pads, a noisy front wheel bearing, and a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush. You should verify if these issues have been addressed since the test.
Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work performed to rectify the 2025 advisories. Given the mileage, also check the condition of the drive belts, water pump, and turbocharger, as these are typical high-mileage maintenance items for the 2.2L diesel engine. Ensure the service history is documented to confirm oil changes have been performed at regular intervals.
As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be dictated by load and driving style. Fuel economy for a Transit of this age typically varies depending on whether it is used for urban deliveries or motorway cruising.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while parts are widely available, the recent MOT advisories suggest that suspension and braking components will be recurring expenses. Expect typical commercial vehicle insurance groups and tax bands for a 2017 diesel model. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be higher than a passenger car due to the heavy-duty nature of the vehicle.
Specifically inspect the front suspension components. The 2022 failure and the 2025 advisory both point towards issues with suspension ball joints, dust covers, and bushes (specifically the nearside front lower arm). A test drive is essential to listen for the 'noisy' wheel bearing mentioned in the 2025 record.
Check the tyres thoroughly. The vehicle has a history of under-inflated tyres appearing on MOT records (2022). Additionally, inspect the front brake pads and discs to see if the 'wearing thin' advisory from October 2025 has been rectified. Finally, check for any signs of leaks around the engine bay, which is common as mileage exceeds 100,000.
This 2017 Ford Transit (NK17ODR) has covered 104,021 miles since its first registration in March 2017. The MOT history shows a mix of clean passes and specific mechanical advisories, most recently regarding braking components and suspension. At over 100,000 miles, this diesel van is entering a stage of its life where component replacement is common.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failure points being headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
