2012 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · GL12 AAO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its MOT compliance, following a successful test on 20 October 2025 at 104,056 miles. This recent pass follows a failure just three days prior at 104,054 miles, suggesting a minor issue was rectified immediately to ensure roadworthiness. The absence of any recorded advisories in the most recent tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets current minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,433 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 95,879 miles in October 2023 to 104,056 miles in October 2025. This incremental growth suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of stationary storage or excessive heavy-duty commercial application. The data shows a clean progression without any sudden spikes in mileage that might indicate odometer tampering or extreme usage patterns. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the vehicle to confirm the resolution of the two recorded failures in October 2023 and October 2025. While the MOT records do not specify the exact nature of these failures, the proximity of the failures to the passing tests suggests they likely involved minor consumable items or simple mechanical adjustments. I recommend a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs to ensure no underlying wear is developing. Given the age of the vehicle, particular attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis for signs of corrosion. Although the MOT history is clean of advisories, a manual inspection of the underside is necessary to check for surface rust or structural degradation. Checking the condition of the exhaust system and the integrity of the brake lines is also advised to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with the standards seen in the recent successful tests.
