2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · FM16 EXP

The 2016 Ford Transit Connect presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 2025-06-02 at 99,975 miles. The maintenance trend is stable with no live advisories or defects carried forward. Records show repeated same-day fail-then-pass cycles in 2024 and 2025, yet the tester logged no defects on any failure. This pattern implies administrative or presentation issues at test rather than escalating mechanical decay. Mileage rose from 76,823 in the June 2023 test to 89,388 by May 2024, then to 99,975 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 12,500 miles per year over the last two intervals, slightly above the lifetime average of 9,998. The 10-year total of 99,975 miles is typical for a light commercial of this age. Sparse history with only three annual windows logged gives limited visibility, though each eventual pass cleared with no recorded wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity and corrosion on sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting points, since the MOT entries never listed advisories that would expose early rust. The twin 2024-05-27 and 2025-05-31 failures with zero defects suggest the van may have arrived without required documents or with minor non-mechanical presentation faults; verify the V5C and test certificate authenticity. Inspect brake discs, calipers, and coil springs in person given the age and the lack of any logged consumable replacement across 23,000 miles.
