2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · JT65 COM

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness status, maintaining a perfectly clean and stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 passed with no defects or advisories, continuing a flawless history spanning several consecutive years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not encountered significant mechanical or structural failures that required immediate attention during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 and September 2025, the Transit covered only 3,354 miles, indicating it is likely used for short-distance trips rather than high-intensity commercial work. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long gaps between recorded miles mean the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which can sometimes affect rubber-based components or fluid degradation. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or structural rust issues, a buyer should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage usage. It is advisable to inspect the rubber bushings, hoses, and tyres for signs of dry rot or cracking caused by age irrespective of distance driven. Additionally, the buyer should check the brakes for corrosion on the discs due to infrequent use and ensure the battery and cooling system are optimal given the long stationary periods between tests.
