2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EX17 AAU

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 53,552 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 also show clean sheets. The single failure on 1 May 2024 at 45,968 miles carries no listed defects, with the vehicle passing the next day on 2 May 2024 at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or unrecorded minor rectification rather than a mechanical breakdown. Recorded mileage sits at 53,552 against a nine-year age, averaging roughly 5,950 miles per year. The van covered 41,716 miles by 26 April 2023, 45,968 by May 2024, and 53,552 by April 2025, a steady annual gain near 7,500 to 8,000 miles in the later years after lighter early use. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data, and the DVSA history is sparse but consistently clean outside the anomalous one-day fail. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low overall mileage and likely periods of inactivity that accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion. The tester logged no advisories on any pass, so no recurring wear pattern such as binding calipers or exhaust deterioration is evidenced in the official record. Verify the 1 May 2024 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the supplied extract shows no defects despite the reject. Confirm structural integrity underneath for rust and check tyre sidewall condition, since the clean MOTs do not exempt a nine-year-old light commercial from consumable degradation.
