2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · CX64 XGP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite its high-mileage profile. The most recent MOT test conducted on 11 August 2025 at 180,176 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that yielded no specific faults, suggesting a minor issue was rectified immediately prior to the retest. Over the last three years, the vehicle has consistently maintained a clean record without recurring advisories or major mechanical failures. The mileage pattern reflects heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the vehicle covered 2,837 miles, indicating a period of significantly lower usage. However, a sharp spike in activity occurred between August 2024 and August 2025, where it clocked 6,960 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which are typical for transit vans of this age. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components common to high-mileage Transit Connects. Focus on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion, as rust often develops before it triggers an MOT failure. Examine the suspension bushes for perished and check the coil springs for signs of sagging, as the high mileage usually accelerates wear on these areas. Additionally, inspect the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs to ensure the recent pass reflects genuine health rather than hidden wear.
