2009 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · FF52 DOG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 139,002 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred briefly on 25 January 2024, the immediate re-test the following day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified defects rather than neglecting necessary mechanical repairs. At 139,002 miles over 17 years, this Transit Connect has averaged approximately 8,177 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle of age. The data shows a significant usage gap between February 2022 and January 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 2,634 miles. However, the subsequent accumulation of 2,620 miles between January 2024 and April 2025 indicates a return to regular operational patterns. The relatively low annual mileage reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor sills, as these vehicles are prone to corrosion over long periods. Although the MOT record shows no recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or tearing. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake calipers and checking for uneven wear on the discs is essential to ensure the clean MOT history reflects a well-maintained mechanical system.
