2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · MJ67 SCV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without any recorded failures. The most recent test conducted on 26 January 2026 at 168,517 miles returned no defects or advisories. This streak of clean results suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements and avoids the common mechanical lapses typically seen in older commercial vans. The mileage accumulation is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,700 miles per year. Usage appears consistent; between May 2021 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 39,674 miles, indicating heavy annual use rather than long periods of standing. Between the October 2023 and January 2026 tests saw 20,296 miles covered, which confirms a rigorous operational schedule. While this high mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension, the lack of recorded faults indicates these components have been managed effectively. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a physical inspection must focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or perished rubber that a MOT tester might miss until they fail. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, given the high mileage. Additionally, because this is a Transit Connect, checking the chassis for structural corrosion around mounting points is essential to ensure the integrity remains sound despite the years of heavy use.
