2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · EY57 KTC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record following a single historical failure. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 95,776 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows three years of clean passes since the 2022 failure, suggesting the current owner has addressed any previous issues and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,041 miles per year. Between June 2022 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 15,773 miles, representing a period of moderate use. The recent interval of 8,009 miles between July 2024 and November 2025 shows a consistent usage rate. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, rubber-based components such as bushes, seals, and tyres can suffer from age-related degradation rather than distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Ford Transit Connect models are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. Examine the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for surface rust to ensure they have not perished. Given the vehicle's age, verify the condition of the brake fluid and check for pitting on discs, as long periods of standing can lead to internal corrosion or seized calipers that an MOT test might not fully expose.
