2007 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT1.8L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 31 July 2025 at 144,864 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in late July 2024 at 144,260 miles, the subsequent pass a year later suggests that any identified issues were rectified promptly. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 22,467 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commercial strain. The gap between the August 2024 test and the July 2025 test, representing only 144 miles, suggests the vehicle was used sparingly during that period, which can occasionally lead to tyre flat spotting or brake corrosion if left stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as these are common failure points for the Transit Connect of this era. Although the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle means that rubber components like suspension bushes and engine mounts may be perishing regardless of the relatively low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and the exhaust system for thinning metal to ensure no hidden corrosion developed between tests.
