2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · AP14 VRX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a remarkably clean record over the last three years. The most recent test on 18 June 2024 at 112,875 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific fault was identified and rectified immediately before the re-test. Since 2021, the vehicle has maintained a clean history without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical and structural upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between May 2021 at 90,890 miles and June 2024 at 112,875 miles, the vehicle covered 21,985 miles, showing a steady and predictable rate of accumulation. There is no evidence of long periods standing which often leads to brake rot or seized components, nor is there any rapid accumulation that would suggest undue strain on the drivetrain components. Given the lack of advisories in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that often fall between MOT cycles. Examine the front suspension bushes for signs of perished rubber and check the coil springs for fractures or corrosion, as these are common failure points on the Transit Connect. While the record shows no binding calipers, a manual check of the brake disc surfaces for uneven wear or thinning is advisable at this mileage. Additionally, inspect the underside for early-stage structural corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the clean MOT results suggest.
