2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LB52 RNB

The November 2025 test at 125,876 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded, marking a clear improvement from the previous year. The 2024 test had flagged both rear brake pads wearing thin, a nail in the offside rear tyre, and windscreen damage including a chip in the central zone and a crack on the nearside upper area. That nearside crack had already appeared as a minor defect in the 2023 test, yet the 2025 certificate shows none of these items carried forward, suggesting the brake pads were replaced, the tyre repaired or renewed, and the windscreen either repaired or deemed acceptable. Mileage stands at 125,876 after roughly nine years, averaging nearly 14,000 miles annually which is high for a 2017 Transit Connect and points to consistent commercial use. The five recorded tests run consecutively from 2021 through 2025 with no gaps, each falling in mid-November except the latest which shifted to early November. No mileage discrepancies appear in the record, and the steady accumulation supports the displayed figure. A buyer should focus inspection on the rear braking system given the 2024 advisory for thin pads on both sides; verify pad thickness and check for any caliper binding or disc scoring that may not yet trigger an MOT flag. The windscreen history warrants close examination of the nearside upper area for any residual crack propagation or repair quality, while the central chip noted in 2024 should be confirmed as stable. The offside rear tyre puncture advisory means checking that corner for sidewall damage or a repair that meets British Standard AU159. No structural corrosion advisories appear across any test, and suspension, steering, and exhaust components attracted no comments throughout the five-year span. The recent clean certificate combined with the resolution of previous consumable items indicates a stable maintenance trajectory, though the high annual mileage means accelerated wear on drivetrain and suspension bushes should be expected at the next service interval.
