2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AV07 NHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean result of its most recent inspection. The MOT conducted on 4 January 2024 at 122,992 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and environmental standards. While the history shows intermittent failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent passes suggest that any identified issues were addressed promptly by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,473 miles per year over its 19-year life. Between January 2022 and January 2023, the vehicle covered 1,494 miles, while the period between January 2023 and January 2024 saw only 1,076 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests the van has been used for short trips or has sat stationary for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, as older Ford Transit Connect models are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear members. Although the recent records show no active faults, the low mileage increases the likelihood of age-related failures such as perished bushes, cracked tyres, or seized calipers. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer must also verify the condition of the brake fluid and hydraulic lines, as low-use vehicles often suffer from internal fluid contamination and moisture absorption.
