2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · FE67 ACZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent mechanical failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 June 2025 at 129,678 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement over previous years where the vehicle required immediate repairs to meet standards. The current clean record suggests that the owner has addressed identified faults and is maintaining the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-usage, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between June 2023 at 99,706 miles and June 2024 at 118,297 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy application, which accelerates the expected wear on Ford Transit Connect components. While the mileage is high, the regularity of the annual testing suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than suffering from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to fatigue under high-mileage conditions. The failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle previously struggled with pass-related items. Prioritize examining the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for play or cracking, as these often fail on high-duty vans. Given the mileage, check the brake discs for thinning and binding calipers, and inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches where rust typically originates on this model.
