2008 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · GF57 PFY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in November 2024 at 152,147 miles with no defects recorded, indicating it was roadworthy at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the preceding tests in 2023, 2021, and 2020 also show passes with no recorded faults. The single failure in October 2021, just four days before a subsequent pass, is an anomaly with no defects listed and likely reflects an administrative or minor procedural issue rather than a mechanical problem, given the immediate clean retest. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,453 miles annually. The recorded mileages progress logically between tests without any unexplained gaps or sudden spikes, suggesting regular, normal operation. The intervals between MOTs are standard, and there is no evidence of prolonged periods of disuse or exceptionally high annual mileage that would accelerate wear beyond the norm. With no recurring mechanical faults, advisories, or structural concerns flagged across the entire five-test history, the MOT record itself presents a clean bill of health. A buyer’s physical inspection should therefore focus on standard consumable items not fully assessed by the MOT, such as tyre tread depth and condition, wiper blade effectiveness, and all fluid levels. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for any signs of hidden corrosion, particularly around the underbody, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points, remains a prudent step regardless of the positive MOT history.
