2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · FD15 JZL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 27 December 2025 at 112,151 miles resulted in a pass following a failure on the same day. This failure involved minor lighting and registration plate issues. While these faults have been rectified, the recurring nature of the failures suggests the owner only addresses defects when necessitated by the MOT tester. The recorded mileage of 112,151 miles over eleven years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 10,200 miles, which aligns with typical expectations for a commercial vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap in data between the January 2024 test at 85,678 miles and the January 2025 test at 97,961 miles, covering over 12,000 miles in a single year. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally places standard wear on mechanical components and suspension assemblies. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the rear suspension and geometry. The January 2025 test at 97,961 miles flagged both rear tyres wearing on inner edges, with the offside being more affected. This is a clear indicator of incorrect alignment, worn suspension bushes, or faulty trailing arms. If the underlying cause has not been addressed, it will continue to cause premature tyre failure. The buyer should also verify that the front registration plate has been replaced, as the deterioration was noted in the most recent inspection.
