FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2011 · 1.8L Diesel

The 2011 Ford Transit Connect demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT result. The December 2025 test at 146,482 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle has met current safety standards. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2024-11-25 at 140,380 miles is noted. This anomaly, coupled with no recorded defects in subsequent tests, suggests the failure may have been a procedural error or a minor non-critical issue resolved before the next inspection. Overall, the maintenance pattern shows consistency, with no escalating concerns in the latest data. The vehicle’s mileage of 146,482 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 9,765 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT records show regular testing intervals, with the 2023-11-21 test at 134,608 miles followed by a 5,780-mile increase to 140,380 miles by 2024-11-25. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 show gradual mileage growth, with no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. The absence of significant gaps or irregularities in the data implies consistent operation, though the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into potential wear trends. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the age and mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a thorough check of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion in critical areas could affect long-term reliability. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the failed 2024 test and sparse defect data warrant a professional mechanical inspection to verify the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded records.
