Our Verdict
This 2022 Ford Transit Connect offers a clean recent MOT but shows recurring brake wear issues. While the latest test is reassuring, the 93,527-mile reading raises questions about long-term reliability for a commercial van.
Prioritise checking service records for brake maintenance between 2025 and 2026. Inspect the nearside rear tyre for potential replacement and verify if brake pads were renewed. Negotiate based on the 2025 MOT findings, and request a pre-purchase inspection to assess wear on the 1.5L diesel engine. Commercial van buyers should scrutinise mileage against typical usage patterns.
As a 1.5L diesel, the Transit Connect offers decent fuel economy (approx. 35-40 mpg) but will face higher diesel prices. Tax for 2026 would be £155 for the first year, then £145 annually. Insurance groups for commercial vans typically range £10-£15, with maintenance costs influenced by brake component replacement. Estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the brake system: check for uneven pad wear, rotor condition, and hydraulic leaks. Examine the nearside rear tyre for any progression of the 2025 cut. Inspect the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises, and verify the exhaust system for cracks. Check the van's load history to assess potential suspension wear.
The vehicle has a spotless May 2026 MOT at 93,527 miles but showed brake pad wear and a minor tyre defect in 2025. Its 1.5L diesel engine meets Euro 6 standards, but the high mileage for a four-year-old van and lack of aggregate reliability data warrant caution.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Ford Transit Connect model to assess general reliability trends.
