2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · WX60 AOV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent MOT conducted on 28 September 2022 at 102,910 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a brief failure just six days prior on 22 September 2022 at 102,899 miles. This initial failure recorded no specific defects, suggesting an administrative oversight or a minor item that was rectified immediately before the retest. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 16-year-old van, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between September 2019 and September 2022, the vehicle covered 13,731 miles, showing a steady rate of use that avoids the extreme stress of high-mileage commercial work or the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. The gap between the August 2020 and September 2021 tests shows an accumulation of 5,174 miles, which is healthy for the preservation of seals and drivetrain components. While the digital history is clean of recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points. Vehicles of this age and model are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear suspension mounting areas. A buyer should also manually check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the low mileage does not prevent rubber components from hardening over nearly two decades. Given that the last recorded test was nearly four years ago, the current state of the brake fluid and tyre age requires immediate attention to ensure nothing has not deteriorated during the extended interval between tests.
