2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · RO67 HME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following previous MOT failures. The most recent test on 05 December 2023 at 142,898 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the required standard. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the current clean record suggests that the previously identified issues were addressed and subsequently resolved. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging 15,878 miles per year. A significant surge in usage occurred between the 2021 test at 52,878 miles and the 2022 test at 95,662 miles, covering over 42,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation typically places considerable strain on heavy-duty drivetrain components and suspension. However, the consistent interval between annual tests since 2021 suggests a regular operational schedule despite the high annual de-count. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system given the high-mileage nature of this Ford Transit. The failures in 2021 and 2022 indicate that specific components required immediate replacement at those intervals, so a thorough check of the bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers is necessary to ensure no new wear has developed. Because the vehicle has covered significant mileage, also inspect the chassis and exhaust system for structural corrosion, as these are common points of failure on vans of this age and usage level.
