2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · HT66 RXL

The most recent MOT on 14 February 2025 at 165,923 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met the minimum legal standards at that time. The absence of any recorded faults across the last four tests shows a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening or improving pattern. Mileage pattern: At roughly nine years old the van has accumulated 165,923 miles, averaging about 18,400 miles per year, which is high for its age. The record shows periods of low use – between February and November 2022 the mileage rose only 1,180 miles – followed by a modest increase of 3,700 miles over the next fourteen months, then a sharp rise of nearly 12,000 miles in the thirteen months leading up to the February 2025 test. This recent surge suggests more intensive operation in the last year. Given the high mileage and lack of recorded faults, a buyer should pay particular attention to items that typically wear with use – suspension bushes and coil springs, brake discs and pads, tyre condition and tread depth, and the exhaust system. The underbody and chassis should also be checked for signs of corrosion or structural fatigue, especially around mounting points and wheel arches, as these can develop silently despite a clean MOT history.
