2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · AF70 VGL

The 2020 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 35,346 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four available MOT entries show no failures, advisories, or recorded mechanical faults across the vehicle's life. The mileage pattern indicates very light use for a six-year-old van. The tester logged 12,140 miles on 10 October 2023, then 19,205 miles on 9 July 2024 and 19,240 miles on 17 January 2025, before the jump to 35,346 miles by February 2026. Annual averages sit near 5,891 miles. The near-static reading between July and January 2025 suggests the vehicle stood idle for months, while the 16,000-mile gain in the following thirteen months shows a later period of heavier activity. Sparse test history with zero defects limits insight into wear trends. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the long idle spell, as standing vehicles develop corrosion and seized components that an MOT pass will not always expose. Check the underbody and sills for structural rust, and verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades after the low-mileage dormancy. The absence of recurring faults means no worsening mechanical trend exists. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing, though the dormant interval warrants scrutiny of consumables and fluid degradation before purchase.
