2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EX17 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent inspection record. In the most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 69,831 miles, the Transit passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes dating back to a failure in early 2023, suggesting that the current ownership has been proactive in addressing mechanical requirements and ensuring the vehicle meets minimum road safety standards without recurring faults. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 3,519 miles, while the subsequent year saw 3,074 miles recorded. This lower-annual usage suggests light urban use rather than heavy-duty hauling cycles, which explains the relatively low mileage. The lack of advisories across the last three annual tests indicates that the drivetrain and chassis components are not showing the accelerated wear associated with high mileage. While the digital record shows no immediate mechanical failures, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for the Transit Connect platform. Given the age of the vehicle, check for early-stage corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust system, as the MOT only flags structural integrity issues once rust becomes significant. Inspect the suspension bushes and control arms for cracking, as rubber components can degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Ensure the brake discs are free of heavy pitting or uneven wear despite the record showing no historical binding calipers.
