2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · AF17 UJD

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 56,488 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage has been low for a commercial vehicle of this type. The records show 33,777 miles at the 4 March 2022 test, rising to 40,274 by 16 March 2023, 45,156 by 19 March 2024, 50,729 by 14 March 2025, and 56,488 by 9 March 2026. That equates to roughly 5,700 miles per year, well below typical light van usage. The clean sheet across five consecutive tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. No advisories or failures appear in the DVSA data, so the record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, or degraded brake discs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, coil spring condition, and brake caliper operation, since a nine-year-old van can hide fatigue not captured in a pass result. The absence of recurring faults means no worsening mechanical pattern is evident. Given the light annual coverage, standing periods may have occurred, so check tyre sidewall cracking, flat spots, and coolant condition before relying on the van for regular duty.
