2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · WR67 HYM

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 93,482 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from January 2023 through January 2025 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 6 January 2023 at 82,846 miles, reversed by a pass on 24 January 2023 at 82,486 miles, with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 93,482 against roughly nine years of use, an average of about 10,387 miles per year and typical for the model age. The annual increments are modest: 4,465 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, then 3,517, 3,443, and 2,944 miles in the following years. The clean pass history with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion points to consistent basic upkeep by prior keepers rather than deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and light commercial duty cycle. Though the MOT shows no rust or chassis advisories, Transit Connect sills and suspension mounting points are prone to weathering that a test bay may clear at one date and fail months later. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify coil springs and track-rod ends are free of fracture. The January 2023 fail with zero logged defects warrants confirmation the tester simply re-entered corrected data; obtain the full DVSA failure sheet before purchase to rule out suppressed faults.
