2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · T70 PGH

The vehicle presents a clean and stable roadworthiness picture. In the most recent test on 4 November 2025, the van passed at 80,980 miles with no defects recorded, which is the strongest possible outcome. Notably, that same day it had initially failed at 80,964 miles, but that failure also recorded no defects. In practical terms, this points to a rectification of something minor, such as a tyre or a bulb, before the immediate re-test, rather than any underlying mechanical or structural concern. Across the full five-year history, every pass came back with no advisories, which indicates a consistent maintenance regime and no worsening trend. The mileage pattern reinforces that impression. At roughly ten years old with 80,980 miles, the van averages about 8,098 miles per year, which is entirely typical for a light commercial vehicle. The annual test intervals show steady, proportionate accumulation: 68,495 miles in November 2022, then 73,647 in October 2023, 77,265 in October 2024, and 80,980 in November 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes, so the van has evidently been in regular daily use rather than left standing for long periods. The record is sparse in the sense that no component has ever been flagged, but that is a positive reflection on the previous owners' care. Because the MOT history is so clean, there are no specific recurring faults to chase. Nevertheless, a van of this age and mileage will have natural wear on consumables and suspension components that may not yet have triggered a test failure. Before purchase, check the condition of the tyres, brake discs and pads, and look for any play or knocking from the suspension bushes and coil springs. A visual check for corrosion around the sills, floor pan, and suspension mounting points is also sensible, as structural rust can develop quietly and is the most common reason a vehicle of this age eventually fails. The paperwork is excellent, but a buyer should still satisfy themselves on those perishable items.
