2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · P99 RBR

The 2016 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 81,012 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from September 2022 through September 2024 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical faults across its documented history. Recorded mileage sits at 81,012 miles against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 8,100 miles per year, which is typical for this vehicle class. The odometer advanced from 56,799 miles at the failed September 2022 test to 56,977 miles by the October 2022 pass, then climbed steadily to 65,096 miles in September 2023, 72,976 miles in September 2024, and 81,012 miles in September 2025. The DVSA log is sparse but clean, with only a single failure entry that carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and light annual use, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake components. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed wear proactively, yet MOT passes with no defects do not capture consumable condition between tests. Focus physical checks on underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions systems ahead of purchase. The clean record supports confident valuation, but ten-year-old light commercial vehicles routinely develop unseen rust at chassis mounting points that a roadside test may not flag.
