Our Verdict
This Ford Transit Connect represents a s
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the areas that have previously shown wear, specifically the braking system. While the most recent test was clear, the 2024 MOT noted the rear brake discs were worn and pitted, so verify if these have since been replaced or if they require immediate attention. Given the nature of the Transit Connect, check the cargo area for signs of heavy use or damage to the floor and side panels, which may not be captured in an MOT test.
Ensure you verify the service history to see if the engine oil and filters have been changed regularly, as this 1.5-litre diesel engine relies on clean oil for longevity. Check that all doors, including the side loading door and rear barn doors, operate smoothly and that the locking mechanisms are fully functional, as these are common high-use points on commercial vehicles.
As a 1.5-litre diesel, this van offers reasonable fuel economy, though real-world figures will vary significantly depending on the load carried. Annual road tax and insurance costs are typical for a light commercial vehicle of this class, though insurance premiums can be higher if the vehicle is registered for business use.
Maintenance costs should remain manageable, but be prepared for regular tyre replacements and brake servicing, as these are common wear items for the Transit Connect. Factoring in fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, you should budget approximately £1,600 to £2,000 per year, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the tyres and brakes during your inspection. Although the 2022 MOT noted perishing tyres and thin brake pads, these were addressed in subsequent tests. Check the current tread depth across all tyres, including the spare, and look for uneven wear patterns which could indicate alignment issues.
Inspect the windscreen for any chips or cracks, as the 2022 MOT recorded damage that did not yet obscure the driver's view. Additionally, check all lighting units, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for this model. Finally, test all electrical features, including the heater fan, wipers, and infotainment system, to ensure everything is in working order.
First registered in January 2018, this white Ford Transit Connect has covered 33,684 miles over its eight-year life. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes with no recorded failures, indicating that the vehicle has met safety standards at every annual inspection. While some advisories for brake and tyre wear have appeared in previous years, the most recent test in November 2025 was clear.
The Ford Transit Connect generally performs well in MOT data, though headlamp and tyre issues are common across the fleet as vehicles age.
