2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · AF64 OAU

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 68,124 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the DVSA log also shows a failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in September 2021, September 2022, and August 2023 passed cleanly at 55,779, 58,203, and 60,658 miles respectively, confirming no advisories or recurring defects across the recorded history. The van has covered roughly 5,677 miles per year against its twelve-year age, a low figure that points to light duty or extended standing periods. Mileage moved modestly from 55,779 in September 2021 to 68,124 by August 2025, an increase of just over 12,000 miles in four years. The two-year gap between the August 2023 pass at 60,658 miles and the August 2025 test at 68,124 miles is the longest interval in the record, but the clean results suggest no neglect of statutory testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity that accelerate corrosion and seizing. The absence of recorded advisories means no specific structural or mechanical risks are evidenced in the MOT data, yet standing time commonly hides perished rubber components and underbody rust not visible during a pass test. Verify the August 2025 failure entry with DVLA to confirm it was a data error and not a withheld defect. Otherwise the history implies a conservatively used, consistently tested vehicle with no warning signs in the official record.
