2023 Ford Transit Connect 250LEADER Eblu 1.5L Diesel · EN72 AEK

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 8 October 2025 at 30,433 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Although the record shows a failure on the same day, the absence of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a three year old commercial vehicle. Covering 30,433 miles in this timeframe averages roughly 10,144 miles per year, indicating a steady workload without excessive strain or prolonged periods of inactivity. The data is sparse due to the vehicle's age, but the clean record at the 2025 milestone suggests the previous owner maintained the van to a basic operational standard. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT does not always quantify. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear and inspect the tyre treads for irregular patterns, as these are common consumables for a Transit Connect at this mileage. Examine the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion, particularly on the chassis rails and suspension mounting points. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the manufacturer's intervals. While the MOT history is clean, the absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes or coil springs does not preclude the need for a manual check of the steering rack and shock absorbers to ensure no leaks or play have developed since the October 2025 test.
