2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · SA02 AGE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in November 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has demonstrated a willingness to rectify defects immediately upon failure. The failure on November 3, 2025, at 104,655 miles involved minor electrical issues and a split drive shaft CV boot, all of which were successfully addressed to achieve a pass re-test just one day later. At a recorded mileage of 104,659 miles, this Ford Transit has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with nearly 18,500 miles covered between August 2023 (66,386 miles) and August 2024 (84,873 miles). This steady accumulation suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, suspension components, and braking systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front drive shaft area to ensure the replacement CV boot is properly seated and free of grease leakage, as previous failure indicated imminent ingress. While the history shows only minor electrical faults like stop lamps and side repeaters, the lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained. Given the mileage and age, a physical check of the underside for corrosion on the suspension bushes remains advisable to ensure no hidden wear has developed since the last MOT test.
