2003 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CW52 GGU

The most recent MOT test passed on 20 August 2021 at 182,298 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's official roadworthiness status as last known clean. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed beyond stable at that single point, as no further tests appear on the DVLA record before today's date of 8 July 2026. The recorded mileage of 182,298 at the 2021 test equates to roughly 7,926 miles per year across the Transit Connect's 23-year life, a typical usage rate for a light commercial vehicle. A notable gap exists between the August 2021 test and the current date nearly five years later, with no subsequent MOT data to confirm continued road use or prove the van has remained idle. The single clean pass gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglect, but the absence of recent testing leaves the current mechanical state unverified. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and full inspection before purchase, prioritising structural corrosion on sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age and unknown storage conditions. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or suspension bushes in 2021, yet rubber components and exhaust emissions degrade with time regardless of mileage. Verify the odometer has not advanced far beyond 182,298, as a standing van may show flat-spotted tyres, seized handbrake mechanisms, or degraded fluid levels unseen in the last record.
