2013 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT1.8L DIESEL

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record, having passed five consecutive annual inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. This streak of clean passes, culminating in the most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 29,009 miles, indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and consistent care. The mechanical condition appears stable and reliable, with no evidence of recurring component failures or neglected repairs that typically plague long-term commercial vehicle ownership. The low total mileage of 29,009 over thirteen years suggests the van has seen light usage, averaging approximately 2,231 miles annually. The consistent, incremental mileage accumulation between February 2022 and February 2026 confirms the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than sitting stagnant for extended periods, which is a positive indicator for engine seals and fuel system health. The lack of erratic mileage jumps or long gaps between tests points toward a well-documented and predictable history of use. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is spotless, rubber suspension bushes, brake hoses, and coolant pipes can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Check the underside for surface corrosion on the chassis and subframe, as the vehicle's age makes it susceptible to oxidation in areas not captured by standard emissions or safety checks. Verify the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as low-use vehicles often retain tyres that are aged beyond their optimal service life despite having sufficient tread depth.
