2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · GK17 ADX

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a pass on 4 March 2026 at 160,522 miles, though the same-day initial test failed on a defective near-side rear reflector and insufficient windscreen washer fluid. The maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening; faults recorded across the period are confined to minor consumables and a persistent reflector defect, with no structural, suspension, or brake mechanical failures logged. The owner rectified the washer fluid and reflector before the retest, indicating basic compliance once prompted. Mileage accumulation shows consistent annual use at roughly 17,000 miles per year, well above typical for a 2017 van. The record moves from 106,448 miles in March 2023 to 123,113 in March 2024, 140,359 in March 2025, and 160,522 in March 2026. No gaps appear in the annual testing, and the clean 2023 result suggests earlier upkeep was adequate before wear items emerged. A buyer should physically verify the near-side rear reflector, which the tester flagged as damaged up to 50% of its surface in both 2025 and 2026 tests; this recurring advisory implies the previous owner deferred a trivial replacement. The March 2025 pass noted front brake pads wearing thin at 140,359 miles, so inspect pad depth and disc condition given the intervening 20,000 miles. Rear tyres showed cracking and perishing at 123,113 miles in 2024 but drew no later comment, warranting a check for sidewall degradation. No corrosion, suspension bush, or emissions faults appear in the history, reflecting acceptable structural integrity for the mileage.
