FORD TRANSIT CONNECT2013 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2013 Ford Transit Connect presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 30 January 2025 at 124,944 miles, where the vehicle passed following an initial failure on the same date with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with passes recorded at each annual interval and no advisories or mechanical faults logged by testers. This clean record suggests consistent statutory testing and no escalating wear issues across the observed period. Mileage accumulation tracks at a typical rate for a thirteen-year-old van. The record shows 94,691 miles at the January 2023 test, rising to 110,076 by January 2024 and 124,944 by January 2025, equating to roughly 15,000 miles per year between tests against a lifetime average of 9,611. The data is sparse, covering only three test events, yet shows no standing periods or abrupt jumps that would signal neglected storage or commercial overuse beyond normal light van duty. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs at 110,076 and 124,944 miles with no defects cited point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs and coil springs given the age and mileage, as MOT cleanliness does not confirm absence of corrosion or consumable wear unseen by the tester. Given the absence of recorded advisories on any test, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic compliance. Verify the V5C and service history in person to confirm the mileage is genuine and the January 2025 failure was clerical, not a concealed defect cleared without record.
