2004 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · LG54 AOA

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, having failed its most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 132,516 miles. While the record shows a history of passing tests, the current failed status indicates the vehicle is not roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent, as the car failed tests on 7 November 2024 and 17 November 2025, though the lack of recorded defects for these failures is atypical and suggests administrative errors or issues not captured in the summary data. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,023 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between October 2023 and November 2024, where the odometer rose from 116,019 to 128,467 miles. This period of higher activity contrasts with the relatively static mileage seen between November 2022 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered only 572 miles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. Given the age of this Ford Transit Connect, structural corrosion is a primary risk, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. The absence of detailed defect notes in the MOT history makes it impossible to track recurring mechanical issues, meaning a full check of the brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes is essential. Particular attention should be paid to the drivetrain and exhaust system. The gap between the last pass in November 2024 and the failure in November 2025 suggests a period of decline or neglect. Verify the condition of all consumable items and check for any signs of fluid leaks that may have contributed to the most recent failure.
