2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · EO10 AMV

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 29 August 2025 at 99,554 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has passed its last three annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. This suggests a level of mechanical consistency, although the lack of any advisory notes on a sixteen year old commercial vehicle is unusual and warrants a cautious physical inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,222 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the records from December 2024, where the mileage dropped from 97,801 miles at the pass test to 87,450 miles during the failure test on 2 December. This 10,000 mile reverse in recorded data indicates either a clerical error by the tester or a potential issue with the odometer accuracy. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion and suspension components. While the MOT record shows no defects, Ford Transit Connects of this era are prone to rust in the sills and chassis rails. The absence of any recorded advisories over several years does not guarantee the absence of surface rust or perished rubber bushes. Check the brake discs and pads for wear, as the record provides no data on the remaining thickness of these consumables. Verify the odometer reading against the service history to resolve the mileage contradiction noted in late 2024. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks and the tyres for uneven wear, which would indicate alignment issues not captured in the clean MOT reports.
