2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · RK10 BEN

The Ford Transit shows a current roadworthy condition following the most recent DVSA test on 17 October 2025 at 114,456 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history remains stable, with every annual examination returning a clean sheet aside from anomalous fail entries logged on the same dates as passes. On 20 October 2023 at 95,019 miles and again on 17 October 2025 at 114,456 miles, the record lists a failure with no defects noted before a same-day pass, indicating administrative re-checks rather than unresolved mechanical faults. Mileage stands at 114,456 on a nine-year-old van, equating to roughly 12,700 miles per year and placing it above average use for a 2017 model. The odometer advanced 11,821 miles between the October 2023 test (95,019) and October 2024 test (106,840), then slowed to 7,616 miles by October 2025. Such deceleration suggests lighter recent operation. The MOT dataset is sparse but consistent, offering only annual snapshots with no advisories or gaps in testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-mileage wear items not captured by these clean certificates. Ford Transit chassis of this age and distance often develop corrosion on structural members, degraded suspension bushes, and fatigued coil springs. Examine brake discs and calipers for binding or wear despite no imbalance flagged in the record. Verify the duplicate fail/pass entries with DVSA to confirm they stem from procedural correction rather than concealed defects.
