2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · SL17 AAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 8 July 2025 at 124,110 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the vehicle is kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is high for a nine year old Transit, averaging roughly 13,790 miles per year. The record shows consistent, heavy usage, with the odometer climbing from 92,306 miles on 4 July 2023 to 124,110 miles by July 2025. This represents a gain of over 31,000 miles in two years. Such high accumulation typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the pattern of failing and then passing within a few days in both July 2024 and July 2025 is atypical. The records do not specify the reasons for these failures, which obscures whether the issues were minor administrative errors or rapid mechanical repairs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas common to high-mileage Transits. Check for corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed structural history. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue and check the brake discs for thinning or lip formation. Given the mileage, a manual check of the clutch bite point and gearbox synchronisation is recommended to ensure the drivetrain has not been overstressed.
