2022 Ford Transit Connect 250LMITED Eblu 1.5L Diesel · YR72 AAY

A clean roadworthiness record defines this vehicle, with no defects or advisories noted during its only recorded inspection on 5 August 2025. This absence of flagged issues indicates a stable mechanical status at the time of testing, providing a baseline of compliance with DVSA standards without any recurring failures or chronic weaknesses appearing in the history. The recorded mileage of 36,273 miles represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 9,068 miles for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern suggests a standard rate of wear on drivetrain components and consumables, avoiding the specific risks associated with prolonged vehicle standing or the accelerated mechanical degradation often seen in high-mileage commercial applications. Given the lack of recorded defects, the physical inspection should focus on confirming the continued integrity of the chassis and suspension. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or rattles over uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or linkages that may not have reached a failure threshold during the last test. Check the operation of the clutch and gear transitions to ensure there is no slippage or hesitation, and verify that the braking system operates smoothly without pedal judder or pulling to one side. While the MOT record is clear, a manual check for any fresh oil misting around the engine bay or leaks under the vehicle is recommended to ensure no new issues have developed since the August 2025 inspection.
