2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · AF67 HNR

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 56,635 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding successful tests also closed with clean sheets. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 56,635 against an approximate nine-year age, equating to roughly 6,293 miles per year and falling within typical use for this model. The trail opens at 35,538 miles on 29 September 2022, rises to 39,292 miles by 4 December 2023, then 49,047 miles on 20 February 2025, and 56,635 miles by February 2026. The step from late 2022 to late 2023 is modest; the 2023 to 2025 span adds near 9,700 miles. A single anomaly appears on 4 December 2023 when the tester failed the van at 39,292 miles yet logged no defects, with a pass issued the next day at 39,392 miles. That suggests an administrative or presentation error at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT record implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables in order. A clean run of passes with no advisories usually signals lighter duty and prompt attention to tyres and wipers before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as MOT cleanliness does not certify component life remaining. Verify service history to confirm cambelt and fluid intervals on a low-annual-mileage diesel. The one-day fail-with-no-defect entry warrants a check of the DVSA certificate to rule out a clerical mismatch before purchase.
