FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2016 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 65,780 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous issues have been addressed. This marks a significant improvement over the 2024 test where the vehicle suffered multiple tyre-related failures, suggesting a more proactive approach to upkeep by the current owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between March 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 26,311 miles, showing a steady usage rate without long periods of neglect or sudden heavy accumulation. The intervals between tests remain regular, with annual increments staying consistently between 6,000 and 7,000 miles, which suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have faced typical wear for a vehicle this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension components, as the 2024 advisory highlighted uneven wear and perishing on all four tyres. While the 2026 test was clean, the previous history of edge wear suggests potential alignment issues or worn bushes that require verification. It is also prudent to inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion, although the MOT record does not yet flag any structural concerns despite the vehicle's age.
