2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EO67 VLC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT test result. The most recent inspection on 16 July 2025 at 98,919 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in early August 2024, the immediate pass three days later suggests that the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a notable period of inactivity between July 2022 at 88,274 miles and July 2023 at 92,471 miles, where the vehicle covered only 4,197 miles in twelve months. However, the usage accelerated significantly thereafter, with over 6,400 miles recorded in the following year. This increase in use suggests a return to regular service cycles, which increases the associated wear on age-related components and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the vehicle nears the 100,000-mile threshold where rubber components often perish. Given the brief failure in August 2024, a close look for signs of perished control arm bushes, worn leaf springs, or binding calipers is advisable. The chassis should also be inspected for evidence of corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as these areas are prone to structural degradation over nine years of use in the UK climate.
