2009 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CV58 YVD

The 2009 Ford Transit Connect presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 August 2023 at 154,895 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history is sparse and shows two failed tests immediately preceding passes on the same days, which points to administrative or minor pre-test corrections rather than progressive mechanical decline. Recorded mileage stands at 154,895 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 9,111 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The gap between the November 2021 test at 147,079 miles and the August 2023 test at 154,895 shows only 7,816 miles covered across 21 months, indicating reduced use or periods of standing. Both failed entries on 24 August 2023 and 10 November 2021 list no defects, so the record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected consumable wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points common to Transits of this era, particularly around sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting faces. The clean advisory list offers no warning on brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes, but 17 years of service invites hidden fatigue not captured by a pass with zero defects. Given the same-day fail-and-pass pattern at 147,079 and 154,888 miles, verify with the seller what rectification occurred before each retest. The absence of recorded faults suggests basic upkeep was addressed promptly, yet the sparse history leaves drivetrain and brake condition unverified beyond the test bay snapshot.
