2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · FH17 RKX

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 3 October 2025 at 119,298 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This continues a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,255 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, increasing from 82,622 miles in August 2021 to 119,298 miles by October 2025. This consistent usage suggests the van has been used as a reliable workhorse rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no recurring mechanical faults to highlight. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear over such a high mileage span is unusual and suggests the previous owner replaced components proactively before they reached a failure threshold. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook minor rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Given the high mileage, checking the condition of the clutch and the service history for timing belt or water pump replacements is advisable, as these critical drivetrain items are not always captured in a standard MOT test.
