2015 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 240 LIMITED1.6L Diesel

This Ford Transit Connect has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 4 February 2026 at 159,685 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards, though the lack of recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The most recent test, just five months ago, confirms the vehicle remains within legal limits for emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. However, the high mileage—159,685 over eleven years—demands scrutiny of components typically subject to accelerated degradation, such as coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 14,500 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a 9,000-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, followed by another 5,370 miles before the latest MOT. While this could indicate periods of reduced use, it also raises questions about whether maintenance was consistently applied during inactive periods. The consistent passing without failings implies no major mechanical failures were overlooked, but the high annual mileage suggests consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades may have been replaced less frequently than recommended. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue and cracking at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in high-mileage vans. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and the underbody for signs of corrosion, as prolonged exposure to road salt or poor storage can accelerate rust. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are unaffected, so visual and functional checks are essential.
