2011 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · BX61 EUO

The 2011 Ford Transit Connect presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 17 November 2022 at 88,853 miles recording no defects. The test history shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the examined period. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on the same date at 88,850 miles yet with no defects logged, a pattern repeated on 11 November 2021 when it failed then passed at 76,069 miles, again with no faults cited. Recorded mileage sits low for a fifteen-year-old van at 88,853 miles, averaging roughly 5,924 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 68,693 miles in November 2020, 76,069 in November 2021, and 88,853 by November 2022. Sparse entries and the clean defect columns suggest either light commercial use or extended standing periods, with no rapid wear cycles visible in the figures. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on identical dates with zero advisories point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than owner-neglected repairs. Still, a buyer should not treat the absent advisories as proof of condition. At this age and with likely intermittent use, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for perishing or corrosion from standing. Structural integrity around sills and chassis should be inspected for rust given the low mileage and possible damp storage. The clean emissions and brake records offer reassurance, but in-person scrutiny of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody remains prudent before purchase.
