2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · EU64 SZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on July 2, 2025 at 135,920 miles resulted in a pass following an immediate failure on the same day. While the vehicle met the minimum standard for that inspection, the recurring failures regarding lighting, tyres, and braking components suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they reach the point of legal failure during an MOT test. At 135,920 miles over 12 years, this Transit Connect has averaged approximately 11,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between March 2023 and May 2024, and another 3,700 miles between May 2024 and July 2025. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, which places predictable strain on wear-related components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and electrical integrity. The July 2025 failure flagged rear brake pads at under 1.5mm and pitted, scored discs, indicating that the rear brakes were at the absolute limit of their life. Given the previous advisory regarding a smooth brake pedal in 2023, a physical inspection should check for seized calipers or worn master cylinders. Additionally, the multiple failures for registration plate lamps, stop lamps, and headlamps indicate a history of wiring issues or bulb replacements that may require further attention to ensure reliable operation.
