2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EX17 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 66,926 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage. This immediate rectification without recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was cleared instantly before the retest. Regardless, the overall mechanical condition appears sound across the recorded years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a light-to-medium commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from July 2022 at 33,116 miles to June 2024 at 52,158 miles, representing an increase of nearly 19,000 miles over two years. The subsequent jump to 66,926 miles by May 2025 indicates a return to normal annual usage levels. This relatively low mileage for a Transit Connect suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain components and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage fleet vans. While the MOT record is clean of recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for this model. Given the age and mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. The lack of recorded brake binding or thin discs in the history is encouraging, but verifying the actual thickness of the pads and rotors is necessary to ensure the previous owner has not deferred routine maintenance between test intervals.
