2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LS17 AAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 163,665 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance despite the vehicle's heavy usage. The mileage is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between March 2022 and June 2023, where the odometer rose from 100,863 to 132,166 miles in roughly 15 months. A more recent surge occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, adding nearly 24,000 miles. The lack of any recorded defects during these periods of intense use indicates the previous owner likely adhered to a strict service schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high wear components that the MOT test may not fully quantify. Given the 163,665 mile total, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts requires scrutiny. Check for any signs of oil leaks or drivetrain vibration that often emerge at this mileage. Examine the brake discs for thinning and the tyres for uneven wear, as these consumables will have been cycled frequently. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or binding calipers, the high mileage makes a thorough check of the chassis and underbody essential to ensure no hidden rust has developed.
