2012 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AA62 MOO

The Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 20 November 2025 at 125,184 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the two most recent annual tests showing clean passes and no advisories logged against suspension, brakes, or structural corrosion. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,900 miles, typical for a 2012 panel van of this type. The record shows 122,089 miles on 27 November 2023, 124,008 miles on 20 November 2024, and 125,184 miles on 20 November 2025, giving an average annual gain near 1,550 miles over the last two years, well below the lifetime average and indicating reduced recent use. The only anomalies are two immediate re-tests after failures on 27 November 2023 and 18 November 2024, both at unchanged mileage and both with no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of load-bearing structures and underside corrosion, as a clean MOT does not certify absence of rust on a 14-year-old van. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across the timeline, so no recurring wear pattern warrants concern. Given the sparse but clean history, verify the two failed-then-passed entries were clerical and confirm the vehicle has not been idle long enough to seize calipers or flat-spot tyres. The low recent mileage means consumables like wiper blades and tyres may be aged rather than worn, so check date codes before purchase.
