2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YP17 WVG

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 26,140 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing cracking. This follows a clean record from 2024 and 2023, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have not triggered any failures during the recent inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent but slow progression from 12,467 miles in October 2022 to 26,140 miles in October 2025. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or sat intermittently. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential corrosion or corrosion on brake surfaces if the vehicle remains stationary for long periods without regular use. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all tyres as the 2025 advisory for perishing indicates rubber rot due to age rather than tread depth. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should verify the brake discs and rotors for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized from lack of use. Checking the suspension bushes and engine rubber hoses for dry cracking is also vital, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation that exceeds mechanical wear.
