Our Verdict
A functional example of a high-usage wor
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1995cc diesel engine has been serviced at regular intervals, as high-mileage Transits require strict adherence to oil and filter changes. Given the 2023 failure, verify that the suspension arm bushes and wheel bearings have been replaced rather than just patched.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage relative to the aggregate data. Ensure you check for any evidence of heavy loading or interior wear that would be consistent with its 116,000-mile history.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, but fuel costs will be the primary expenditure. Insurance groups for the Transit vary, but as a commercial vehicle, these can be higher depending on the intended use and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve frequent tyre replacements and brake work, as seen in this vehicle's history. Expect an annual spend covering fuel, tax, and routine maintenance to be significant due to the vehicle's age and mileage.
Carefully inspect the tyres and suspension, specifically the nearside rear lower suspension arm and offside front wheel bearing, which were flagged in 2023. While the recent MOTs are clean, these are known weak points for the model.
Additionally, check the bodywork and chassis for corrosion, as this is listed as one of the top failure reasons for Transits in the aggregate data. Ensure the headlamp alignment is correct, as this caused a failure in September 2023.
This red 2017 Ford Transit has recorded 116,278 miles. While the MOT tests in 2024 and 2025 were passed without any defects, the 2023 record shows a failure involving multiple tyres, a wheel bearing, and headlamp aim. The vehicle's usage pattern is typical for a commercial diesel of this age, though it has exceeded the model's average annual mileage.
The Transit has a 74.4% average MOT pass rate, with common failures typically related to headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- DPF and EGR FoulingModerate
Urban stop-start use and long idling clog the DPF and EGR system, leading to repeat limp-mode faults and expensive cleaning or replacement.
- Dual-Mass Flywheel and Clutch WearSerious
Repeated heavy launches and towing can wear out the clutch and DMF, causing rattles, slip and expensive gearbox-out repairs.
- Early 2.0 EcoBlue Wet Belt DegradationSerious
Late pre-facelift Euro 6 vans introduced the oil-bath timing belt; missed servicing or the wrong oil can make the belt shed material and starve the engine of oil pressure.
