2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · OV17 AEO

Based on the official DVSA records, this 2017 Ford Transit presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding failure on the same date and mileage likely indicates a minor issue that was rectified before the pass was issued. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as no recurring faults or structural problems have been flagged across any of the five recorded tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use. The vehicle has covered approximately 9,449 miles per year, and the recorded increments between tests show steady accumulation: from 71,563 miles in February 2024 to 79,125 miles in February 2025, then to 85,044 miles in February 2026. This suggests regular driving without prolonged periods of standing or unusually high mileage bursts. The gaps between tests are roughly one year, indicating the vehicle was tested on schedule. Given the absence of any recorded defects or advisories across all tests, the history implies a well-maintained example. However, for a nine-year-old commercial van, a prospective buyer should still arrange a thorough independent inspection. Focus on suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on Transits. Brake discs and callipers should also be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these issues often develop without triggering an MOT failure until they become severe. Additionally, inspect the underside for any structural corrosion, especially around load-bearing areas, as rust can progress silently between tests.
