2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AF57 PKU

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 July 2025 at 106,994 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories across the last three years of testing suggests a vehicle that is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 19 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 5,631 miles per year. A significant period of stagnation occurred between 10 May 2023 and 15 May 2024, where the odometer moved only 4 miles from 103,017 to 103,021. This indicates the vehicle spent nearly a full year stationary. The mileage then increased by 3,973 miles over the following 14 months leading up to the July 2025 test. While the MOT record is clean, the pattern of long-term standing introduces specific risks. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as inactivity often leads to seized components. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing, regardless of tread depth, given the low annual usage. Given the age of this Ford Transit Connect, a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for structural corrosion is essential. The MOT history shows no failures, but testers often overlook early-stage rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable, as rubber components degrade over time even when the vehicle is not being driven.
