2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · SL17 AAU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. While the most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 96,983 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, the failure just three days prior at the same mileage is unusual. This lack of recorded defects on the failure report suggests a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a structural or systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,776 miles per year. The record shows steady usage between intervals, moving from 54,326 miles in June 2022 to 82,356 miles in June 2024. The jump of 14,627 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates regular operational use, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and fuel system components often associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or persistent corrosion issues, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical for a Ford Transit of this mileage. Inspect the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of perishing or leaking, as these often fail under heavy loads. Check the brake discs for uneven wear and inspect the calipers for binding, as the record does not explicitly clear these items despite the high mileage.
