2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EX17 ABN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 March 2026 at 64,579 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This streak of clean records across the last five years suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively, preventing minor mechanical issues from reaching the testing stage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 7,175 miles per annum. Data shows a slight dip in usage between April 2022 at 37,167 miles and March 2023 at 39,978 miles, followed by a more regular accumulation of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually thereafter. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has been used for light commercial work or short trips, which has likely subjected the drivetrain and suspension components to less mechanical stress compared to high-mileage fleet vans. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to age-related degradation rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should examine the rubber-based suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these perish over time even with low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, checking the chassis for surface corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure long-term structural integrity, alongside verifying the condition of the brake disc surfaces for any pitting or glazing resulting from periods of standing.
