2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AF07 OFM

The most recent MOT test passed on 19 August 2021 at 209,284 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the roadworthiness status formally valid but now nearly five years stale. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving beyond that single clean result, as no further tests appear on the DVSA record since. The recorded mileage of 209,284 at the 2021 test equates to roughly 11,000 miles per year across the vehicle's 19-year life, a typical usage rate for a Transit Connect. A notable gap exists between the last test date and today's date of 8 July 2026; no evidence shows whether the van has covered further miles or stood idle. The single entry with no advisories gives no basis to flag rapid accumulation or neglect in the documented period. A buyer must treat the 2021 pass as expired and arrange a fresh MOT alongside a physical inspection. With no historical advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the record offers no prior warning of structural or mechanical risk, but age and unknown mileage since 2021 leave those components unverified. Prior to purchase, check for structural rust on chassis and sills, test brake calipers for binding, and measure tyre tread and exhaust emissions. The absence of past faults suggests reasonable upkeep to 2021, yet the long test gap means consumable wear and hidden fatigue now carry the real uncertainty.
