2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LC17 YPF

The February 2026 MOT at 109,327 miles passed without any defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Since the 2023 failure, the vehicle has passed three consecutive tests (January 2024, January 2025, February 2026) with zero recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance trend after the earlier brake and lighting issues were rectified. The mileage record shows an average annual usage of roughly 12,147 miles, which is high for a 2017 model. Mileage rose from 74,128 miles in January 2021 to 109,327 miles by February 2026, with the steepest increases occurring between 2023 and 2026 (9,300 miles in 2023‑24, 7,437 miles in 2024‑25, and 8,838 miles in 2025‑26). Earlier intervals were more modest, suggesting recent intensification of use. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake system for pad thickness, disc condition and any binding calipers, verify full headlamp operation on both beams, and examine suspension bushes, coil springs and structural areas for corrosion or fatigue. Tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and exhaust emissions are also advisable checks, but the recurring brake wear and prior headlamp defect point to the most critical items requiring close scrutiny.
