2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CU57 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 February 2026 at 160 977 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable: three consecutive passes from January 2023 through January 2025, followed by a brief failure on 21 January 2026 and an immediate retest pass two weeks later. That short‑term dip suggests a transient issue was identified and rectified, leaving the overall pattern of upkeep consistent. Mileage progression shows a low‑use period between January 2024 (153 719 miles) and January 2025 (155 012 miles), adding only 1 293 miles in a full year. The annual increase from January 2023 to January 2024 was 10 677 miles, indicating normal usage at that time. The dramatic rise to 160 977 miles between the two January 2026 tests (a 5 965‑mile jump in roughly 14 days) is anomalous and points to either a recent intensive period of use or a possible odometer discrepancy. The record is sparse for the intervening months, offering limited insight into usage patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and examine the exhaust and underbody for corrosion given the high mileage and recent failure. A thorough visual and operational check of the drivetrain and any recent repair invoices is also advisable to confirm that the January 2026 failure was fully resolved and not indicative of underlying structural or mechanical degradation.
