2011 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CX61 VHT

The Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 30 August 2025 at 120,136 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Across the four available annual tests from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards and no worsening mechanical condition over the period. Mileage accumulation reflects light, steady use for a 15-year-old van. The record shows 116,453 miles at the 23 September 2022 test, rising to 118,285 by 14 September 2023, then 118,911 on 27 August 2024, and 120,136 at the final 2025 test. That equates to roughly 1,200 miles per year across the last three intervals, well below the 8,009 annual average for the vehicle's age, suggesting extended standing periods or short local runs rather than heavy commercial duty. The clean MOT history gives no flagged faults for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody and sill integrity given the vehicle's age, as surface rust and fatigued rubber mounts evade the MOT until structurally significant. The low yearly mileage implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades may have aged rather than worn, so check date codes and blade condition. Previous keepers clearly kept the van to a passable standard, with no skipped tests and no recurring defects to suggest deferred upkeep. The absence of advisories does not guarantee component life, only that thresholds were not breached; verify service records to confirm cambelt and brake fluid intervals on this 2011 diesel.
