2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CX17 SLU

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 136,859 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year clean MOT sequence. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisory pattern across the available history. Annual mileage averages 15,207 miles, high for a nine-year-old van but consistent year on year. The records show steady accumulation: 92,634 miles in March 2022, 103,972 in March 2023, 118,346 in March 2024, 129,800 in March 2025, and 136,859 in March 2026. No gaps exist between tests and the roughly 10,000 to 13,000 miles added each year implies regular commercial use rather than long standing periods. The clean sheets at every interval suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage. The MOT record flags no corrosion or binding calipers, yet high annual use wears these components between tests. Examine the exhaust emissions system and underbody for early structural rust not yet at failure threshold. The absence of advisories across five passes indicates disciplined upkeep rather than deferred faults. Verify service history matches the odometer and check tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these minor consumables fall outside MOT failure only when severely worn.
