2011 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · GF11 AMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of passing annual inspections. The most recent test conducted on 27 November 2025 at 102,374 miles passed with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just two days prior at 102,363 miles which, despite having no recorded defects, likely indicates a clerical administrative error or a minor sensor fault that was immediately rectified. The data indicates a proactive approach to maintaining legal roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with light usage for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 3,370 miles, while it added another 3,531 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This relatively low annual accumulation suggests the van is not used for long-distance transit, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading due to long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common areas where the Transit Connect is prone to corrosion. While the MOT record is currently clean, the low mileage often masks age-related perish of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake hoses. Inspect the sills and wheel arches for signs of rust streaking and check the brake system to ensure calipers have not seized due to the vehicle's intermittent usage pattern.
