2012 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · FE62 YCV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent mechanical failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 09 October 2025 at 149,155 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed prior mechanical issues. While the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the vehicle is currently maintained in a condition that meets the minimum safety standards. The recorded mileage of 149,155 miles over 14 years reflects an annual average of approximately 10,654 miles. This figure aligns closely with typical expectations for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage between tests, such as the 6,261 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,804 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This regularity suggests the engine has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which helps prevent fluid degradation and component seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that caused the failures in September 2023 and September 2024. Although the records provided do not list the specific reasons for those failures, recurring issues on the Ford Transit Connect often pertain to suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust system corrosion. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural rust on the sills and subframe points is essential. You should also inspect for uneven wear on brake discs and the condition of the tyres to ensure the recent clean MOT results are not merely masking developing mechanical wear.
