2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · GU15 EPV

The most recent MOT test on April 2nd, 2026, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 90,111 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last five tests—spanning from February 2023 to April 2026—indicates a stable maintenance trend. While the February 2023 duplicate entry (both pass and fail at identical mileage) is anomalous and likely an administrative error, the subsequent consistent passes suggest no recurring mechanical issues have been overlooked. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear; critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers should still be scrutinised during an in-person inspection. The recorded mileage of 90,111 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 8,192 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this age and model. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the February 2023 to February 2024 interval (a 12-month gap) is slightly longer than the usual 12-month MOT cycle. This suggests the vehicle was either stored briefly or driven at a steady rate without excessive wear. The most recent test occurred just three months ago, ensuring the vehicle has not yet reached its next MOT due date, but buyers should verify whether the test covered all critical components thoroughly. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for cracking or excessive play, as these are common failure points in this model. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in tests, may exhibit uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, must be checked for corrosion, as rust can compromise the chassis over time. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or damaged hangers, as these are often overlooked but can lead to emissions failures or structural issues.
