2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · CX64 ONB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 168,280 miles identified only a single deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. This follows a much more problematic period in November 2024 where multiple failures were flagged across lighting, tyres, and suspension. While the vehicle currently passes its tests, the frequency of advisories suggests components are only addressed once they approach failure or legal limits. At 168,280 miles, this Ford Transit Connect has averaged approximately 14,000 miles per year, which indicates heavy commercial use consistent with its age and type. The mileage accumulation is steady; between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 17,009 miles in a single year. This high annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and rubber suspension components, which is reflected in the recurring reports of worn brake discs and deteriorating ball joint covers across the four-year data set. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with inner-edge tyre wear and worn suspension arm bushes dating back to 2023 suggest a persistent alignment problem or worn steering components that have not been fully rectified. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, with 2022 records showing rear pads at 85% wear and 2024 flagging thin rear discs. Check for uneven pad wear and verify the integrity of all ball joints and bushings, as the high-mileage environment accelerates the degradation of these critical safety parts.
