2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YM67 BMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 200,441 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of instability in early 2023. While the vehicle previously failed due to engine oil leaks and tyre issues, the two subsequent tests have returned with clean sheets, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the primary mechanical concerns and maintained a passing standard thereafter. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for a nine-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 22,000 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 18,421 miles, indicating consistent high-mileage commercial operation. This rate of accumulation puts considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the regularity of the testing intervals suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which helps prevent certain types of seal-related failures seen in low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay for signs of residual oil seepage, as the record flagged an excessive leak in January 2023 and a minor leak in February 2024. Although the most recent test was clear, the high mileage necessitates a close look at the suspension geometry and rubber bushings. The previous mention of worn rear suspension bump stops in 2024 indicates that the rubber components in the under-assembly may be nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, the history of feathered tyre tread in 2023 suggests potential past alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that should be verified to ensure the current tyres are not wearing unevenly.
