2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · YM15 AED

The 2015 Ford Transit Connect demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent 2025-09-12 MOT recording minor defects but no critical failures. Corrosion on the nearside rear brake pipe, tyres approaching legal limits, and fluctuating service brakes were noted, but all were resolved to pass. No significant structural or mechanical issues were flagged, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, recurring tyre damage and brake-related advisories indicate ongoing attention is required, particularly for components like suspension bushes and brake discs. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging ~7,600 miles annually between 2021 and 2025. The 2022 test at 65,391 miles showed thin rear brake pads and a pitted disc, while subsequent checks revealed persistent tyre degradation. The 2024 and 2025 tests highlighted shock absorber oil misting and brake pipe corrosion, suggesting gradual wear in suspension and braking systems. No major gaps in testing or abrupt mileage spikes were recorded, reflecting regular servicing. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the rear tyres for further cracking, brake discs for scoring, and suspension components for leaks or play. The nearside rear brake pipe’s corrosion warrants close examination for potential leaks, while the fluctuating service brake may indicate hydraulic system inconsistencies. Structural integrity appears intact, but the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check of wear items and mechanical systems flagged in the MOT history.
