2015 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 240 LIMITED1.6L Diesel

The 2015 Ford Transit Connect Limited has maintained a clean MOT record through its most recent test in June 2025 at 57,865 miles, with no defects or advisories logged across three consecutive assessments. This consistency suggests a stable mechanical condition, though the absence of advisories could also indicate minimal pre-test servicing or a vehicle kept in pristine condition for inspection. The latest pass, just over a year ago, confirms no immediate concerns with critical systems—brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity—though the short interval between tests (11,255 miles in 12 months) means wear trends beyond routine items like tyres or wiper blades remain untested. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,865 over 11 years reflects unusually light use, averaging just over 5,000 miles annually, which is well below the UK fleet average for its age. The gap between the March 2023 test (31,714 miles) and the June 2024 test (46,610 miles) covers 14,896 miles in 15 months—an acceleration that could imply a change in usage, though still modest. Without advisories or defects, there’s no evidence of neglect, but such low mileage raises questions about whether components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake discs have been exercised enough to reveal latent wear. The lack of recorded mileage between tests also means no DVSA-mandated checks on items like exhaust emissions or tyre condition during that period. Given the clean history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which may not have been stressed sufficiently to show fatigue. Binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear could still develop, so a brake system check is prudent. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches or sills, should be examined closely, as low-mileage vehicles are sometimes stored in damp conditions. The absence of MOT advisories on tyres or wiper blades in the past year suggests these were likely replaced recently, but tread depth and condition should still be verified. Emissions compliance, while not flagged, may warrant a pre-purchase diagnostic if the vehicle has been driven minimally in stop-start traffic.
