2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CV60 TFN

The 2010 Ford Transit Connect currently holds a failed MOT status from the 21 October 2025 test at 188,916 miles, with no defects formally recorded on the DVSA entry. Prior to that failure the vehicle passed three consecutive annual tests between October 2022 and October 2024, showing a previously stable maintenance trend that has now broken down at the most recent examination. The lack of recorded advisories across the history suggests either diligent pre-test preparation or incomplete tester notation, but the abrupt failure so close to today's date leaves the van legally unroadworthy until rectified. Mileage has advanced modestly for a sixteen-year-old light commercial, from 175,544 miles at the October 2022 test to 188,916 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,400 miles per year over the last three years, well below the lifetime average of 11,807, implying reduced operational use or extended standing periods. The clean pass record through 2024 at 184,197 miles gives no indication of rapid wear, though the sparse gap between the 17 October 2023 failure at 180,756 miles and the pass nine days later at 180,824 miles shows a quick turnaround fix with no listed defects. A buyer must establish why the October 2025 test failed despite zero recorded defects, as DVSA systems occasionally omit free-text fault lines. Inspect structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and exhaust emissions in person, since none appear in the history yet the van cannot pass without resolution. The 2023 double test with no faults noted also warrants scrutiny of the rear subframe and sills for corrosion hidden from the tester. Given the low recent annual mileage and absent advisories, consumable wear like tyres or wiper blades is unlikely to be severe, but the unexplained 2025 failure demands a physical inspection before purchase. Confirm the rectification evidence and review the failure reason via the full DVSA certificate rather than relying on this summary record.
