2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EX17 ABK

This Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 April 2025 at 90,097 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between 7 April 2022 and 10 April 2025, the odometer rose from 52,012 to 90,097 miles. This represents a steady increase of approximately 12,660 miles per year over the last three years, though the jump between April 2023 and April 2024 was more pronounced at 16,588 miles. There are no erratic mileage gaps to suggest long periods of standing or sudden changes in usage patterns. The record is unusually clean for a commercial vehicle of this vintage. The only anomaly is a failure on 8 April 2024, which was resolved the following day at 75,534 miles. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for that failure, it likely related to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable. There is no evidence of chronic issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the chassis and wheel arches for surface rust, as MOT testers often overlook minor corrosion that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Given the 90,000 mile threshold, checking the service history for timing belt or water pump replacements is advisable, as these are wear items not typically flagged on an MOT until they fail.
