2011 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AF61 WWC

The 2011 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 119,153 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. The record shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the examined period, indicating the vehicle has not drifted into a worsening condition. Recorded mileage sits at 119,153 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 7,944 miles per year which is typical for this class of light commercial. The gap between the 15 November 2021 test at 108,992 miles and the 1 December 2022 pass at 112,619 miles shows only modest annual use of under 4,000 miles. A same-day fail on 30 November 2022 at 112,615 miles preceded that pass by one day with no defects logged, pointing to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. Given the absence of flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone raises no red flags on consumables or chassis integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, exhaust emissions under load, and underbody for hidden rust given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on a 2011 panel van. The sparse but clean record implies previous keepers addressed statutory test requirements without neglect, though the lack of advisories means latent wear may simply have gone unlogged. Verify service history against the 119,153-mile odometer and confirm the 2022 fail was clerical before purchase.
