2012 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CV62 YNU

The 2012 Ford Transit Connect is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2024-08-28 confirming no defects at 209,209 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, as the 2023-10-10, 2022-10-10, and 2021-10-07 tests all passed with no recorded issues. However, the 2022-10-10 test listed as a failure without defects raises ambiguity, though this may reflect administrative error given the absence of specific mechanical findings. The vehicle’s consistent annual testing and lack of critical faults suggest reliable upkeep, but the high mileage warrants scrutiny of wear-prone components. The vehicle’s 209,209-mile total equates to approximately 14,944 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 197,033 miles in 2023 and 178,988 miles in 2022, indicating regular operation. The 2022-10-10 test failure at the same mileage as the 2021-10-07 test is unexplained but does not align with a pattern of recurring issues. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests suggests no immediate mechanical decline, though the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables and structural elements. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the vehicle’s usage profile and mileage suggest that routine maintenance may have been prioritized, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of high-stress components.
