2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · WX60 AOW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The most recent test conducted in February 2025 at 131,624 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal requirements. While a failure occurred in early January 2023, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest that any identified issues were addressed immediately and the vehicle has since maintained consistent standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 102,765 miles and February 2025 at 131,624 miles, the vehicle covered 28,859 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 9,600 miles annually. This regularity suggests consistent operation, which is often beneficial for preventing common issues like seized brake calipers or excessive seal degradation found in vehicles with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension rubber components. Given the age of this Transit Connect, corrosion on the sills and floor mounting points remains a primary concern that MOT tests may not fully capture until it becomes structural. Although the record lacks recent advisories, checking the control arm bushes and shock absorbers for wear is prudent, as these are the first to show fatigue on vehicles exceeding 130,000 miles.
