2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · EK57 AEO

The 2007 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 27 January 2026 at 150,471 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though a failed test on 14 January 2026 at 150,460 miles recorded no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or undocumented issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes in December 2024, January 2024, and January 2023 each carried no advisories, indicating the vehicle has avoided flagged wear or corrosion across a three-year span. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,920 miles given the van's nineteen-year life, with the odometer climbing from 136,888 miles in January 2023 to 150,471 miles by January 2026. The record shows steady accumulation of roughly 4,500 to 4,800 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Given the sparse and clean MOT entries, the history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs, though the lack of advisories does not confirm component condition beneath test thresholds. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these wear items escape MOT capture until faulty. The January 2026 failure with zero recorded defects warrants scrutiny of the test centre paperwork to confirm no suppressed mechanical concern. At 150,000 miles, expect tired drivetrain mounts and possible underbody corrosion unseen in the pass results. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, with no recurring tyre, exhaust, or braking failures across the timeline. The van's clean sheet implies competent if unremarkable care, but nineteen years of service demand hands-on checks of structural integrity around sills and chassis before purchase.
