FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2020 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 with 111,248 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a failure in early 2025. While the most recent test indicates a clean sheet, the history reveals that the owner has addressed specific electronic and consumable issues previously identified during the previous inspection cycle. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old van, averaging over 18,500 miles per annum. A significant surge occurred between March 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered 23,319 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system. The jump of 19,443 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests further confirms heavy commercial usage, which is consistent with the Transit Connect model. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and alignment, as the March 2025 failure flagged both front tyres as being worn on the edge, which often points to tracking issues or worn control arms. The previous failure regarding anoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) also requires a diagnostic check to ensure the fault was properly rectified and not merely cleared. Given the high mileage, a close look at the corrosion on the brake discs and the condition of the exhaust system is essential to ensure the vehicle has not been neglected despite the recent MOT passes.
