2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · EY14 ACU

The vehicle appears to be in a stable maintenance condition with no recorded mechanical or structural defects in the most recent MOT tests. The March 2025 test at 207,087 miles shows a pass with no advisories, following a failed attempt on the same day that recorded no specific defects. This suggests that any previous issues were rectified immediately to meet minimum standards. The absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across the last four years indicates a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 17,257 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. The data shows a steady increase from 192,894 miles in March 2022 to 207,087 miles in March 2025. This consistent usage pattern is typical for a commercial vehicle and suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing. While the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear on consumable components, the MOT history does not show a trend of worsening mechanical degradation. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear axle mounting points, which often suffer on high-mileage Transits. Given the high annual mileage, the condition of the suspension components, including coil springs and dampers, should be verified. It is also prudent to inspect the brake system for uneven wear on the discs and to check the condition of all rubber bushings and engine mounts, as these components typically reach the end of their service life around the 200,000-mile mark.
