2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · AY65 CXT

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 August 2025 at 49,540 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 4,504 miles per year. The distance covered between 15 August 2022 at 36,564 miles and 15 August 2025 at 49,540 miles shows a steady, low-intensity usage pattern. A brief anomaly occurred in August 2024, where the vehicle failed on 13 August at 45,615 miles and passed six days later at 45,625 miles. The lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial fault. Despite the clean MOT record, the low mileage and age of the vehicle necessitate specific physical checks. Long periods of light use or standing can lead to perished rubber components and seized brake calipers. A buyer should manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot or cracking. The brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting that may have developed during periods of inactivity. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the history is positive. However, since the MOT only captures a snapshot of safety, you should verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and timing belt have been changed based on age intervals rather than just mileage. This is critical for a 2015 model with such low annual usage.
