2017 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YR17 GDF

The 2017 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 30 April 2025 at 99,850 miles which recorded no defects. Prior annual tests in May 2024 at 84,594 miles and April 2023 at 71,805 miles also passed cleanly, showing no worsening mechanical condition across the recorded period. The vehicle has sustained a consistent, fault-free MOT profile over its later service life. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a nine-year-old van, averaging roughly 11,094 miles per year against the 99,850 miles recorded. The gap between the March 2022 test at 65,918 miles and the April 2023 pass at 71,805 miles shows only light annual use of about 5,900 miles, while the following year to May 2024 added 12,789 miles. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories logged on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any stage. One anomaly requires context: the test on 4 April 2023 at 71,798 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, reversed by a pass ten days later at 71,805 miles. This pattern suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, though a buyer should verify the original failure reason via the full DVSA certificate. The absence of flagged wear items implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits. Given the unbroken clean history, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and exhaust emissions before purchase. The record shows no recurring problems, but MOT passes do not assess clutch wear, gearbox condition, or incipient underbody rust. Treat the van as mechanically sound on paper, subject to physical verification.
