2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · AF16 KZW

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status based on the pass recorded on 6 October 2022 at 170,507 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available history. The most recent test shows no defects, though the failure logged two days earlier on 4 October 2022 at the identical mileage of 170,507 is notable. The tester recorded no defects against that failure, which suggests an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault at the point of testing. The recorded mileage rose from 146,357 miles at the 1 October 2021 pass to 170,507 miles by the October 2022 tests, an accumulation of 24,150 miles in roughly twelve months and in line with the lifetime average of around 17,000 miles per year. The 170,507 miles against a ten-year-old 2016 Ford Transit Connect is high for the age and points to sustained commercial or delivery use. The record shows a clean sweep of passes and a single unexplained failure, with no advisories or worn consumables flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record gives no visibility of underlying rust given the high mileage and likely urban duty cycles. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have absorbed considerable load over 170,507 miles and warrant measurement for wear and cracking even though no tester has yet raised an advisory. The absence of recorded defects across three tests implies the previous keeper addressed basic upkeep, but the unexplained failure at identical mileage two days before the pass means the buyer should verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the October 2022 result reflects a genuine roadworthy condition rather than a clerical retry.
