2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · FL10 WLU

The 2010 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 68,627 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of four consecutive annual passes with no advisories or failures since at least April 2022. Recorded mileage sits at 68,627 miles against a 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,289 miles per year. The test on 28 April 2022 captured 58,184 miles, rising to 64,722 by 12 April 2023, then 66,795 on 25 April 2024, and 68,627 in April 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 1,600 and 6,500 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse, fault-free record implies the previous keeper used the van lightly and kept up with basic statutory testing, though no intermediate service evidence sits in the MOT data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. Long idle periods implied by low yearly use can hide corrosion on sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points not always caught in a pass result. Check the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for age-related degradation rather than wear-driven fatigue. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody structure given the van's standing time between short trips. The clean MOT trail reduces risk of prior neglect, but sixteen years of age demands hands-on confirmation of exhaust integrity and steering joints before purchase.
