FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2011 · 1.8L Diesel

The 2011 Ford Transit Connect passed its most recent MOT on 24 October 2022 at 193,189 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available records, with no advisories or worsening mechanical faults logged. However, the vehicle has not been tested since October 2022, leaving it nearly four years stale relative to today's date of 16 July 2026, and its current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this history alone. Mileage stood at 176,467 in the October 2020 pass, rose to 183,516 by October 2021, and reached 193,189 by October 2022, equating to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year in that window and a lifetime average near 12,879 miles annually. The odometer gain is moderate for a light commercial van of this age, though the 193,189 total remains high and implies sustained use. The record is sparse, showing only five entries across 2020 to 2022 with clean passes aside from two anomalous fails logged one day before each subsequent pass at identical mileages. Those two failures on 21 October 2021 and 22 October 2022 at 183,516 and 193,188 miles respectively list no defects, strongly suggesting administrative or presentation errors at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical rejection. A buyer should still treat the long test gap as the primary concern. In person, inspect brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion after standing unused, check suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue under the high mileage, and verify exhaust emissions and structural integrity for rust given the van's age and commercial duty cycle.
