2010 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT1.8L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-10 at 210,906 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. Previous tests from 2024-11-08, 2023-06-13, and 2022-01-29 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. The sole failure in 2023-06-05 at 201,891 miles recorded no defects, implying a technical anomaly or minor correction. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the latest records, though the high mileage raises expectations for wear on consumables and components. The vehicle’s 210,906 miles represent an average of 13,182 annual miles over 16 years, exceeding typical usage for its age. Mileage growth shows irregularity: from 193,681 miles in 2022 to 201,904 in 2023 (8,223 miles), then 205,887 in 2024 (3,983 miles), and 210,906 in 2025 (5,019 miles). This fluctuation may reflect variable usage or incomplete records. The absence of defects in recent tests contrasts with the high mileage, but older components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs could still exhibit latent wear requiring inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the exhaust system for corrosion, as high mileage often accelerates rust in underbody components. Suspension joints, steering linkages, and brake discs should be assessed for wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Electrical systems, including the battery and alternator, may show signs of strain. While the MOT history lacks critical failures, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into gradual degradation. A physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of tyres, fluid levels, and chassis integrity, as these factors are not fully captured in the recorded tests.
