2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · RE67 AEK

The 2017 Ford Transit is currently roadworthy, with its most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 at 203,132 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, as all prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues. The single 2022 failure at 118,255 miles recorded no defects, suggesting it may have been a procedural error or minor non-compliance resolved before the next test. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the history, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 203,132 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 22,570 miles annually, which is high for its age and suggests frequent use. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 14,184-mile increase between the 2022-12-01 test (118,255 miles) and the 2023-11-30 test (132,065 miles), followed by a 35,214-mile jump to 2024-12-13 (167,279 miles). These figures align with the vehicle’s high annual average but do not reveal irregularities in the testing schedule. The absence of defects in all but one test implies no systemic mechanical decline. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates such wear. Brake components, including discs and calipers, require scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be checked, as older vans may develop leaks or inefficiencies. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but rust on the chassis or body panels remains a risk, warranting a thorough visual assessment. No advisories suggest immediate concerns, but the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates careful evaluation of its mechanical state.
