2005 Ford Transit Connect L220 D 1.8L Diesel · DEZ 2033

The roadworthiness status of this 2005 Ford Transit Connect is currently supported by a clean pass recorded on the ninth of March 2024 at an unspecified mileage, representing a stable maintenance trend compared to its earlier test history. The vehicle exhibits a pattern of initial failure followed immediately by rectification and a successful test, as seen on the seventh of March 2024 and the tenth of December 2022. These repeated failures without recorded defect descriptions on the certificates indicate that administrative or preliminary presentation issues caused the initial rejections rather than unaddressed mechanical failures. The odometer displays a total of 147,325 miles across approximately twenty-one years of service, yielding an average of roughly 7,015 miles annually. The MOT log shows significant testing gaps, including a two-year interval between the December 2022 pass and the March 2024 pass, alongside another extended gap between December 2021 and December 2022. This sparse testing frequency suggests periods where the vehicle may have been laid up, off the road, or utilized intermittently without active annual inspection records on file. Because the DVSA records list zero advisories or specific defect descriptions across all five test events, the history lacks granular data regarding the condition of consumable components such as brake discs, pads, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion. Commercial vehicles of this age and mileage frequently suffer from chassis corrosion, worn leaf springs, and fatigued load-bearing structural members. An in-person inspection must therefore prioritize a rigorous examination of the sills, floor pan, crossmembers, and suspension mountings for rust, alongside a thorough check of the braking system and powertrain for leaks and excessive wear.
