2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · E25 SET

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 30 April 2025 at 84,905 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The vehicle cleared its most recent test cleanly after a failed attempt two days earlier at 84,877 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical failure. Mileage sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old van. The record shows 64,185 miles at the May 2023 test, rising to 76,394 miles by April 2024 and 84,905 miles by April 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year across the logged period, close to the 7,075 annual average for the vehicle's life. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three pass results and two defect-free failures recorded, so no wear patterns or consumable trends can be established from the entries alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core components the MOT did not flag. The absence of advisories does not rule out worn suspension bushes, corroding brake lines, or early structural rust on a van of this age. The April 2025 failure with zero defects suggests the earlier presentation may have had documentation or identification discrepancies, so verify the V5C and test certificate match the chassis number. Given the clean record, focus the viewing on brake disc condition, exhaust emissions under load, and underbody corrosion around sills and suspension mounts. The low annual mileage implies the van may have stood idle for periods, raising the risk of seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres not captured by the MOT entries.
