2017 Ford Edge 2.0L Diesel · OV17 ABU

The 2017 Ford Edge remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-21 at 78,395 miles confirming no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, as the last three tests—2026, 2024, and 2023—showed no issues, and the 2025 test, though listed as failed, recorded no defects. This suggests either a data anomaly or a non-critical failure resolved prior to retesting. The vehicle’s mechanical condition appears consistent, with no recurring faults flagged in the history. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,711 miles annually. The 2025-03-28 test at 67,031 miles shows a 10,412-mile gap since the 2024 test, which is within normal parameters. No significant spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, indicating regular operation. The MOT records are sparse but clean, with no advisories or critical failures documented, reflecting a maintenance routine focused on compliance rather than proactive repair. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear. The absence of exhaust-related issues in the history is positive, but a visual check for corrosion under the chassis is advisable. No structural rust or binding calipers were noted in the records, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the integrity of the drivetrain and braking system.
