2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · DP14 WKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 at 79,261 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical integrity, though a recurring pattern of tyre neglect has emerged. While the vehicle has avoided major structural or mechanical failures over the last five years, the last two MOT tests indicate that the current owner is only replacing tyres once they reach the legal wear limit. At 12 years old, the Ford Transit Connect has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns well with typical light-to-medium commercial use. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between February 2024 and April 2025, and another 5,111 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and fuel components common in low-mileage vans. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the front suspension and alignment geometry. The advisories from the 2024 and 2026 tests both flagged tyres worn on the outer edges, which frequently points to incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes and ball joints rather than simple mileage. Checking the front wish arms and drop links is essential to ensure uneven wear is not causing premature tyre failure. Given the lack of recorded defects in the 2023 and 2025 tests, the chassis and braking system appear well-maintained, but the immediate replacement of the front tyres is required to ensure safety and grip.
