2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EX17 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 17 May 2025 at 110,663 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation has increased significantly in recent years. Between 26 July 2022 and 13 July 2023, the vehicle covered 18,599 miles. This trend continued through to 1 July 2024, where it reached 101,692 miles, adding another 17,617 miles in a single year. The total average of 12,296 miles per year is high for this age, indicating the van has likely been used for intensive commercial duties. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a high-mileage Transit Connect. While the record shows no recurring faults with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the high mileage makes these the primary areas for physical inspection. A buyer should specifically check for wear on the clutch and drivetrain components, as the record does not capture internal mechanical wear that does not trigger an MOT failure. The failure on 1 July 2024 was resolved immediately on the same day, and the lack of detailed defect data for that specific failure suggests it was a minor issue. Given the clean history, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of consumables like tyres and brake pads, which naturally degrade faster under the high-mileage usage pattern seen between 2022 and 2025.
