2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · FM15 FUD

The 2015 Ford Transit Connect shows a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass at 88,757 miles on 17 March 2025, with no defects or advisories logged. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recorded history, as every annual test from March 2023 through March 2025 resulted in a pass with no faults raised, despite two same-day failures in 2023 and 2024 that were recorded with no defects and immediately cleared. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light commercial use for the vehicle's age. The record shows 56,674 miles at the March 2023 test, rising to 70,604 miles by March 2024 and 88,757 miles by March 2025. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles per year over the last two intervals, above the lifetime average of about 8,069 miles per year, suggesting the prior low annual figure was offset by heavier recent use. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories, so no wear patterns on tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes can be inferred from the record itself. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, particularly around sills and suspension mounts, given the van's 11-year age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag emerging rust. The brake calipers, coil springs, and exhaust emissions should be functionally tested, as the clean MOT history offers no evidence of consumable or mechanical condition beyond the test dates. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries on 17 March 2023 and 19 March 2024, both with zero defects listed, indicate administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, though the lack of advisories across 32,083 miles of recent use means latent wear on drivetrain components and steering joints remains unverified by the official record.
