2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · AV65 MMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 119,725 miles resulted in a pass despite noted advisories for both rear tyres reaching the legal wear limit. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of consumable wear issues suggests that previous owners only addressed mechanical faults when they approached a failure point or a scheduled MOT deadline. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, with a 18,184-mile gap between July 2022 and August 2023, and another 17,433 miles between August 2023 and July 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting idle for long periods, which explains the expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension components of a Ford Transit Connect. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The July 2022 test specifically flagged fluctuating front service brakes, which often indicates warped brake discs, and the 2024 test noted missing rear bump stops, a component that affects chassis stability under heavy loads. Furthermore, the repeated reports of tyres wearing unevenly on edges across 2022 and 2025 point to potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention to prevent premature tyre failure.
