2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · CU66 OCV

The 2016 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 104,310 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 9 October 2024 at 99,373 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisories or faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old van, averaging roughly 10,400 miles per year. The record shows 67,621 miles in September 2022, rising to 84,818 by October 2023, then 99,373 in October 2024 and 104,310 in November 2025. The step from 2023 to 2024 added about 14,500 miles, a slightly heavier year, but the latest interval dropped to under 5,000 miles, suggesting reduced recent use. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories logged at any stage. A failed test on 7 October 2024 at 99,373 miles is notable, yet the record lists no defects and the van passed two days later on 9 October 2024 at the same mileage. This points to an administrative or retest circumstance rather than a mechanical fault, not a recurring wear pattern needing concern. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emission issues appear across the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the van's age and the absence of any advisory data that might otherwise reveal gradual deterioration. Check for binding calipers, worn suspension components, and tyre condition that a no-defect MOT does not capture. The clean record implies conscientious upkeep, but ten years of use warrants verifying real-world wear beyond the test bay.
