2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CE60 EDU

The 2010 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 18 August 2025 at 135,716 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior annual examinations returned similarly clean results once the vehicle cleared its initial failure. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the three-year record. Mileage sat at 133,920 in August 2023, rose to 134,761 by August 2024, and reached 135,716 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 800 to 950 miles added per year, well below the typical 8,482 annual average for a sixteen-year-old van. The low accumulation suggests light commercial or private use, though the sparse test history offers no visibility of interim servicing or standing periods between tests. The record shows two anomalous failures on 12 August 2025 and 14 August 2024, both at near-identical mileages of 135,714 and 134,761, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects for either. This pattern implies administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, since the vehicle passed cleanly one day later on both occasions. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificate details match, as repeated no-defect failures hint at paperwork or identity mismatches rather than worn consumables. In person, the buyer should inspect structural integrity underneath for hidden rust, check coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue from age, and verify brake calipers are free. The clean MOT trail gives no cause for alarm on tyres or wipers, but the unexplained failure entries warrant a direct query with the seller before purchase.
