2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · RO67 RBY

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 22 November 2025 at 140,356 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across all five available MOT entries. Every test from 21 September 2021 through to the latest examination returned a pass with no advisories, indicating consistent compliance with DVLA roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern shows heavy use for a nine-year-old van. Recorded distance rose from 34,006 miles in September 2021 to 44,461 by September 2022, then jumped to 75,838 by October 2023 and 113,075 by November 2024. The final leap to 140,356 by November 2025 gives an average of roughly 15,595 miles per year. The 27,000-mile gain between the 2023 and 2024 tests is the steepest annual climb, pointing to sustained commercial-duty operation rather than occasional private use. Despite the unbroken pass record, the high accumulated mileage means wear on consumable and mechanical items is likely present even if not yet flagged. A buyer should physically inspect front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness for fatigue. Drivetrain mounts and clutch operation warrant a road test given the load cycles. Structural corrosion around sills and chassis legs should be checked, as the clean MOT history offers no assurance against hidden rust on a high-mileage 2017 panel van. Verify service history to confirm oil changes kept pace with the mileage jumps.
