2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YF17 RPO

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 18 February 2026 showing no defects. Following a single advisory regarding tyre wear in 2021, the vehicle has maintained a period of uninterrupted compliance through its 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 inspections. This trend indicates that the primary mechanical components subject to annual inspection have met the required standards without recorded failures or recurring advisories in recent years. The recorded mileage of 74,542 miles over a nine-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,282 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical light-to-medium duty cycles for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the drivetrain and major structural components have not been subjected to high-intensity long-distance use, the vehicle has been driven sufficiently to prevent the stagnation often associated with very low-mileage examples. Given the 2021 advisory concerning an offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing inner edge wear, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front-end geometry during a test drive. Any noticeable pulling to one side under braking or while cruising on a straight road could indicate issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension components such as control arm bushes or tie rod ends. It is advisable to inspect the current tread depth and evenness across both front tyres to ensure any previous alignment issues have been rectified. While the recent history is free of recorded defects, the transition from the 2021 advisory to the current clean record means the vehicle's current state regarding suspension and steering integrity should be verified through physical inspection. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as these can be early indicators of wear in the suspension linkages or steering rack. Check that the steering feels centered and that there is no excessive play in the wheel through the steering column.
