2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · WA17 FFB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 May 2026 with 148,661 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, as the defects previously identified have been addressed. The lack of advisories on the latest test suggests the current owner has performed the necessary repairs to clear the previous mechanical failures. The mileage profile reflects a high-use pattern typical of a commercial vehicle such as this 2017 Ford Transit, averaging approximately 16,500 miles per annum. Between the 27 January 2025 and the 8 May 2026 test, the vehicle covered 9,215 miles in just sixteen months. This consistent accumulation suggests the van has seen regular commercial service, which typically puts higher strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage private vehicles. The 2025 inspection at 139,446 miles highlighted significant wear on the braking system, specifically thin front brake pads and pitted or scored discs on both axles. While the 2026 pass indicates these issues were rectified, a buyer must verify the current condition of the hardware to ensure high-quality parts were used during the repair. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of structural failure on Transits reaching this distance interval.
