2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · VO67 XSW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following a mechanical setback. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 64,220 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. Since the significant failure in early 2024, the vehicle has maintained a clean record through two consecutive successful annual tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 38,733 miles and January 2025 at 57,169 miles, the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles, suggesting a period of higher intensity. The subsequent 7,051 miles recorded between the January 2025 and February 2026 tests return to the average usage profile, which helps mitigate accelerated degradation associated with high annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 failure at 50,527 miles highlighted a worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and severely weakened front brake discs. While these were rectified to pass the following test, a check for residual play in the ball joints or uneven wear on the steering components is prudent. The rear brake discs also showed pitting and scoring in 2024, which suggests a vulnerability to corrosion during prolonged standing; verifying the current condition of the pads and discs will ensure the issue has not returned since the last successful test.
