2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AF60 MYL

The 2010 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness trend, passing its most recent DVSA test on 25 June 2025 at 217,018 miles with no defects recorded. Across four consecutive annual examinations from February 2022 to June 2025, the vehicle cleared every test without a single advisory or failure. This clean sheet indicates the previous keeper addressed required items before each test and kept the van to a roadworthy standard throughout. At 16 years old the van shows 217,018 recorded miles, an average of roughly 13,564 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age. The records expose uneven use rather than steady wear. Between the 15 February 2023 test at 169,240 miles and the 15 February 2024 test at 206,213 miles, the odometer climbed 36,973 miles in twelve months. The following cycle to June 2025 added only 10,805 miles. Such a spike then drop implies a period of heavy duty cycle followed by lighter running. The sparse history, with just four entries and no flagged faults, gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis despite the clean MOT trail. High annual mileage and the 2023 to 2024 workload will have stressed suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet a Transit Connect of this age commonly hides rust at sill seams and rear spring hangers unseen in a lift-free test lane. Verify the true condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions under load, and confirm service history for the drivetrain. The absence of advisories suggests competent upkeep, but the mileage demands proof of cambelt and clutch intervention before purchase.
