2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · SA17 EPL

This Ford Transit is in an exceptionally stable condition regarding its roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 92,673 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to August 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has faced very light duty. The mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 10,297 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, increasing by 6,625 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. A curious anomaly appears in February 2024, where the vehicle passed two tests within fourteen days at 74,713 and 74,714 miles. This suggests a clerical error or a rapid re-test, though neither entry flagged any mechanical failures. The absence of any advisories over the last three years is rare for a commercial vehicle of this vintage. There are no records of recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The lack of flagged structural rust or chassis deterioration in the DVSA data suggests the vehicle has avoided harsh environments or received preventative underbody care. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that the MOT tester may have overlooked or deemed acceptable but are nearing the end of their service life. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean record implies these were likely replaced recently or are wearing evenly. Inspect the oil service intervals and the condition of the timing belt if applicable, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in a standard MOT test.
