FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2016 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2016 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 81,037 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior three successful tests also closed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards over the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 81,037 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,100 miles per year and reflecting typical light commercial use. The gap between the 15 November 2022 test at 73,392 miles and the 18 January 2024 pass at 79,618 miles shows about 6,200 miles added in fourteen months. A failed test on 18 January 2024 at 79,618 miles carries no recorded defects, with the same-day pass suggesting an administrative or emissions retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. From January 2024 to January 2026 the van covered only 1,419 miles, pointing to reduced recent activity. Given the clean MOT sequence, no structural corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody integrity and brake caliper operation, as a low-mileage dormant period can mask seizing or surface rust not caught in a static test. The absence of advisories means consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were within limits at each examination. The DVSA data implies the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline and avoided deferred repairs. With no worsening pattern and a current clean certificate, the Transit Connect stands as a low-risk used purchase subject to standard pre-sale verification of service history.
