2005 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AD54 WPE

The most recent test on 22 November 2023 returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date showing no listed faults. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with the vehicle clearing its final examination cleanly and no advisories or mechanical concerns raised by the tester. Mileage data is sparse. We have 139,522 miles at the 7 December 2021 test and 148,027 miles at the 3 December 2022 test, a modest 8,505-mile annual use for a 2005 Ford Transit Connect. The 2023 pass carries no recorded mileage, so no accumulation trend can be judged beyond that point. At eighteen years old the van shows credible light-commercial wear but no evidence of excessive running. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern in both 2022 and 2023, with no defects logged on either outcome, points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than recurring mechanical faults. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion items were ever flagged across the three years of history. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity and underside condition in person, as the MOT record omits any advisory on chassis rust or exhaust emissions deterioration common to this age of Transit. Verify the absent 2023 mileage against the odometer and inspect tyres, wiper blades, and binding calipers for consumable wear the tests did not capture.
