2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · FH14 DXO

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 18 August 2025 at 87,214 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The absence of any advisories or failures across the available history indicates the vehicle has not entered a pattern of recurring mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 87,214 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 7,268 miles per year against the vehicle's twelve-year age, a figure consistent with typical light commercial use. The only prior test on record is the 23 March 2023 examination at 79,337 miles, showing an accumulation of just 7,877 miles across the intervening 29 months. This sparse two-entry history with clean results gives no evidence of rapid wear cycles or neglected intervals, though the gap before 2023 leaves earlier life undocumented. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not confirm pre-2023 condition. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not captured by a pass result. Given the low annual mileage, prolonged standing periods may have allowed tyre sidewall cracking or seized handbrake mechanisms to develop unnoticed by the tester.
