2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CK60 SDY

The 2010 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing without defects at 139,524 miles on 10 September 2024. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with no advisories or failures logged for wear items, emissions, or structure. The duplicate 10 September 2024 entry showing a fail with no defects recorded is a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault; the pass on the same date and mileage confirms the vehicle held a valid certificate. Mileage sat at 112,528 on 7 January 2021, rose to 115,595 by 22 August 2022, then 127,411 on 24 August 2023, and 139,524 on 10 September 2024. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles in the first gap, 11,800 over the next year, and 12,100 in the final year, lifting the long-term average to about 8,720 miles annually. The sparse five-entry history shows no rapid accumulation or long dormant periods, though the jump between early 2021 and late 2022 suggests lighter use before a return to regular service. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across four tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each examination rather than letting tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes degrade to flagging point. The absence of corrosion, brake binding, or exhaust defects in the record points to reasonable upkeep for a 16-year-old light commercial vehicle. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity beneath the sills and chassis rails, as Transit Connects of this era suffer unseen rust where advisories were never raised. Inspect brake discs and calipers for age-related wear, and verify the 2024 test anomaly left no unresolved recall or plate mismatch on the V5C. Given the 139,524-mile odometer, expect imminent replacement of clutch, dampers, and bushings even though the MOT never flagged them.
