2006 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CX06 XFZ

The 2006 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 12 October 2023 at 131,846 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests on 7 October 2022 at 123,582 miles and 22 October 2021 at 119,255 miles also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the three-year record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects in that window. The mileage pattern reflects light, consistent use for a 20-year-old van. Between October 2021 and October 2023 the odometer advanced only 12,591 miles, an average of roughly 6,300 miles per year, close to the 6,592 annual norm for the model age. The sparse three-entry history shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps, though the absence of earlier records limits visibility of pre-2021 care. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion on sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record does not confirm these beyond the test dates. The tester recorded no worn suspension bushes, coil spring fractures, or binding brake calipers, yet a 2006 panel van of this mileage commonly develops such faults unseen by a clean MOT. Verify brake disc thickness and exhaust emissions during a road test. Given the last test fell nearly three years before today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle is overdue its next MOT. Previous owners kept basic upkeep current through 2023, but the buyer must confirm the van remains roadworthy after this extended layoff.
