2013 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CV13 VOF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of consistent annual testing. The most recent inspection on 29 September 2025 at 145,014 miles passed with no defects recorded, despite a technical failure just ten miles prior on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately to secure the passing result. Since the September 2024 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,155 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 7,857 miles, while the subsequent year saw a higher accumulation of 12,227 miles. The total distance of 145,014 miles indicates the van has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals, bushings, and brake components that often perish on neglected low-mileage vehicles. While the recent records are clean, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of common wear points for a Transit Connect of this mileage. The failure recorded in September 2023 at 124,930 miles indicates a previous mechanical fault that required attention, so the current state of the suspension bushes and control arms should be checked for signs of play or tearing. Given the vehicle's age, inspecting the chassis and sills for surface or deep corrosion is essential to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised beyond the MOT standard.
