2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · ET07 PJU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 January 2026 at 180,864 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the results of the previous four years. This consistency suggests that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents mechanical or safety-related failures from surfacing during the DVSA inspection process. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year over its nineteen years. Between February 2022 and February 2024, the vehicle covered 11,223 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The interval between the February 2025 and January 2026 tests shows a slight drop with only 476 miles over eleven months. This regular operation indicates the vehicle remains in active use rather than suffering from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage and age necessitate a focus on common wear points for a Ford Transit Connect of this era. A buyer should inspect the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, where corrosion often develops before it becomes an MOT failure. Given the mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for excessive play or stress fractures, as these components frequently reach their service limit near 180,000 miles. The braking system should also be examined for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the parts.
