2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · WU67 BTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 132,586 miles flagged advisories for a worn nearside front tyre and a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. While the vehicle passed, the presence of these issues suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach or reach the point of legal failure. At 132,586 miles over nine years, this Transit has averaged approximately 14,700 miles per annum, which is consistent with heavy-duty commercial use. The data shows significant mileage accumulation between August 2022 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered nearly 22,000 miles in just fourteen months. This high mileage puts considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the failure in August 2022 due to thin brake pads and sub-legal tyre tread. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front end geometry, as the worn offside suspension arm bush noted in 2026 is a precursor to uneven tyre wear and handling instability. The buyer should also check the condition of the rear brake system, as the record shows worn discs in 2023 and thin pads in 2022. Given the history of perishing tyres and worn edges, a thorough check of the remaining rubber compound and the alignment of all wheels is essential to ensure the previous owner has not neglected basic mechanical upkeep.
