2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · PJ67 WGA

The vehicle maintains a valid MOT status, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 125,834 miles shows the vehicle passing only after failing on multiple brake-related and lighting issues. While the immediate mechanical failures were cleared, the recurring nature of the suspension advisories across several years suggests that components are only addressed when they approach a failure threshold rather than during scheduled service intervals. At 125,834 miles, this nine-year-old Ford Transit has covered an average of nearly 14,000 miles per year. The record shows consistent usage, with 10,890 miles clocked between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 11,690 miles in the following year. This high-mileage commercial profile places significant stress on heavy-duty suspension and braking components, which is consistent with the wear patterns observed in the vehicle's inspection history. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the nearside and offside lower arm bushes have been flagged as worn since at least December 2023. Despite two years of monitoring, these faults remain on the record, indicating they may not have been replaced despite the mileage. The December 2025 failure also highlighted a binding offside rear service brake and thin pads on both front and rear. A thorough check of the brake discs for uneven wear and a measurement of the remaining pad material is essential to ensure the system has not been compromised by the binding caliper.
