2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · AK65 ABV

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 resulted in a pass at 161,407 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 14,673 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, with 17,618 miles added between November 2022 and November 2023, and a further 14,671 miles by November 2024. The most recent interval shows a slower increase of 2,985 miles over the following year. This high-mileage profile indicates heavy use, likely for commercial purposes, which typically accelerates wear on the drivetrain and suspension. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. A buyer should check for play in the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs, as these often degrade under high-mileage stress. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Particular attention must be paid to the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion. While the tester has not flagged structural integrity issues, Ford Transits of this era can develop rust in the sills and load area. Checking the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical engine components typically require attention well before 161,000 miles.
