2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · NL56 AJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The final MOT test conducted in September 2022 at 171,175 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This followed a successful test in February 2022, indicating that the mechanical failure identified earlier that same month was rectified effectively. The record suggests the vehicle maintained a functional standard of operation during its last recorded period. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a commercial of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between February 2022 and September 2022, the vehicle covered only 723 miles, suggesting a period of low usage or storage prior to the final test. Given that the last recorded MOT took place nearly four years ago, the vehicle is currently operating without a valid certificate relative to the current date. This significant gap in testing means the current state of critical safety components, such as the rubber parts and braking system, has not been professionally verified since the 2022 inspection. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Ford Transit Connects of this era are prone to corrosion over long periods. The buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or wear, given the high mileage of 171,175 miles. Because the previous record showed no advisories, a thorough check of the brake calipers and disc thickness is necessary to ensure no binding issues have developed during the long interval since the last test. Testing for fluid leaks and exhaust degradation is also essential to confirm the vehicle remains fit for road.
