2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LF67 ACO

The Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 9 October 2025 at 78,725 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior examinations in July 2024 and July 2023 likewise passed cleanly. The maintenance trend is consistent and shows no worsening faults. An anomalous duplicate entry for 17 August 2022 shows both a pass and a fail at 48,232 miles, each with no defects listed, but the overall sequence indicates the vehicle met statutory standards throughout. Registered in 2017, the van has covered 78,725 miles over roughly nine years, equating to about 8,747 miles annually and matching typical usage for its class. Mileage progression reveals uneven accumulation. The record jumps from 48,232 miles in August 2022 to 56,347 by July 2023, a modest 8,115-mile gain. Between July 2023 and July 2024 the odometer climbed 20,219 miles, indicating a period of heavier service. The final interval to October 2025 added only 2,159 miles, suggesting the vehicle stood largely idle or saw light local use. The sparse but clean history offers limited insight into consumable replacement cycles. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion or exhaust emissions across the available tests, implying previous owners addressed issues before examination or the vehicle escaped wear sufficiently. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe rust, and steering joints given the van's age. The duplicate fail entry on 17 August 2022 warrants verification against the DVLA portal to rule out administrative error. Check tyre tread depth and wiper blades despite absence of advisories, as these consumables degrade with time. The low recent mileage may have allowed rubber components to harden. A pre-purchase appraisal by a qualified mechanic remains prudent.
