2010 Ford Tran Connect 90 T220 Cdpf 1.8L Diesel · KV60 YNT

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable due to a failed MOT test on 8 November 2024 at 104,903 miles. While the previous years showed a clean record, the recent failure without recorded defects suggests a specific major mechanical or emissions failure that prevented the vehicle from passing the inspection. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the vehicle moved from several years of clean passes to an immediate failure, which often indicates a developing fault that has not been addressed before the test deadline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. However, there is a significant anomaly in the data where the March 2017 test recorded 112,823 miles, which is higher than the November 2024 reading of 104,903 miles. This discrepancy suggests a potential odometer rollback or a recording error during that specific period. Between April 2019 at 83,095 miles and May 2022 at 102,381 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 19,000 miles, representing a steady but low usage rate compared to typical transit vans. A buyer must verify the specific reason for the November 2024 failure to determine if the issue relates to structural corrosion or a more complex engine system fault. Given the age of the Ford Connect, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, particularly around the sills and wheel arches where rust is common on this model. The buyer should also inspect suspension bushes for perished and check for binding brake calipers, as low-mileage use often leads to degradation of rubber components and seized hardware due to lack of movement.
