2017 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YS67 FCG

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 7 March 2026 at 66,720 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects or advisories at any stage, and the latest test clears the vehicle with a clean sheet. Prior to that pass, the same-day 7 March 2026 failure recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Mileage has accumulated at a modest rate for a nine-year-old van. The record moves from 48,246 miles at the 7 March 2024 pass, to 58,435 miles at the 6 March 2025 test, and 66,720 miles by 7 March 2026. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year in the logged period, close to the 7,413 annual average for the vehicle's life. The data is sparse, with only three years of entries and no flagged wear on consumables or structure, so the buyer cannot infer neglect but also lacks a long-term service trail. Given the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, no recurring mechanical fault pattern emerges from the MOT file. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in 2025 and 2026 with no defects noted imply clerical or documentation issues at the testing station rather than owner-deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers, as a clean MOT does not certify component life beyond the test day. The low recorded mileage and fault-free tests suggest light commercial use with basic statutory compliance. Verify the 2025 and 2026 dual entries against DVSA portal notes to confirm no suppressed defect category. Otherwise, the vehicle's documented history supports a sound roadworthiness position as of March 2026.
