2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · YH65 ABX

This 2015 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT tests in October 2025—just nine months ago—showing no defects at all. The two entries on the same date (one passed, one failed) appear to be an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue, as no faults were logged in either. The consistency over the past three years, including the 2024 and 2023 tests at 152,969 and 152,471 miles respectively, confirms there have been no recurring advisories or failures that would indicate deteriorating maintenance. This suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained by its previous owner or has simply avoided developing major wear issues despite its age. The mileage accumulation is notably high for its age, averaging around 13,929 miles per year over its 11-year lifespan. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the odometer climbed from 151,768 to 153,223 miles—a modest but steady increase, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. This level of usage would naturally accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components, though the absence of MOT advisories or failures implies these have been managed effectively. The lack of test gaps also suggests the vehicle has remained in regular use, rather than being stored for extended periods where corrosion or fluid degradation might occur. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on high-wear areas that may not have been flagged in tests but could now be approaching failure. Particular attention should be paid to the brake system—including disc thickness, pad condition, and caliper operation—given the vehicle’s elevated mileage. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes, coil springs, or uneven tyre wear, as these are common failure points in high-mileage vans. Structural integrity is less of a concern here, but a close examination of the undercarriage for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and exhaust mounts, is prudent. While the MOT record is reassuring, the age and mileage mean some components may now be at their service limits.
