2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YM17 KNF

This 2017 Ford Transit has covered roughly 10,400 miles per year, which is a typical usage rate for a commercial vehicle. The history suggests a pattern of steady, consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity or extreme high-mileage abuse. The vehicle’s mechanical condition appears stable, though there are clear signs of wear consistent with its age and the weight typically carried by a Transit. While the most recent MOT in March 2026 resulted in a pass, the advisory regarding the offside front suspension arm bush indicates that the front-end components are beginning to deteriorate. This is a recurring theme, as similar play in the suspension ball joints was noted back in 2023. The trend is not necessarily worsening rapidly, but it does show that the front suspension is a recurring point of failure. The brake system also required attention in 2023, suggesting that consumables are being replaced as expected for a vehicle of this mileage. The current issue with the driver’s door lock is a minor electrical nuisance but should be factored into your offer as it will require repair. Because this is a Transit, you must look beyond the MOT history. Start your inspection by checking the front suspension thoroughly; listen for any knocking sounds during a test drive and check for uneven tyre wear, which often points to the bushes or ball joints mentioned in the MOT records.
