2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YM17 KNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 70,589 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has demonstrated a willingness to rectify immediate mechanical failures. While the vehicle failed on that same date due to a split nearside front outer drive shaft boot, the repair was completed promptly to achieve a clean pass with no further defects. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than neglect of safety-critical components. At nine years old with 70,589 miles, the Transit has averaged approximately 7,843 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent use, with 6,377 miles covered between July 2023 and October 2024, and another 9,179 miles recorded by September 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often leads to internal degradation of rubber seals and brake corrosion in stationary systems. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the drivetrain CV boots, as the nearside front has already shown a history of failure and seepage in both 2023 and 2025. The front brake system previously exhibited excessive fluctuation in July 2023 at 55,030 miles, which typically indicates thin or warped brake discs; the buyer should verify if these were replaced rather than merely resurfaced. Additionally, while the previously missing mirror cover and tyre nail were resolved, a general check for new signs of minor impact damage is advisable to ensure the aerodynamic and trim components remain secure.
