FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2007 · 1.8L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 122,460 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one mile prior on the same day. This single-mile failure likely indicates an administrative error or a minor sensors issue that was immediately rectified, as the subsequent inspection showed no mechanical or structural faults. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,445 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 114,136 miles and October 2025 at 122,460 miles, the van covered 8,324 miles, representing a low usage rate of roughly 2,700 miles per annum. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial strain, though the low distance can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluids during long stationary periods. While the digital history shows no recurring adviserories or failures, a physical inspection must focus on the common weak points of the Ford Transit Connect platform from this era. The buyer should specifically examine the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, as rust often develops internally before it triggers an MOT failure. Given the age, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or sagging, as low mileage does not prevent the natural hardening of these materials over two decades.
