2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · KX14 AEP

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 160,828 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual tests from 2022 through 2024 also passed with no advisories or faults noted, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the MOT threshold consistently across the last three years. The mileage pattern shows high but steady use for a twelve-year-old van. The record charts 104,918 miles at the September 2022 test, rising to 122,907 by October 2023, 140,795 by October 2024, and 160,828 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 16,000 to 18,000 miles per year in the logged period, above the implied long-term average of 13,402, and reflects regular commercial-style operation rather than sporadic standing. The DVSA entry for 20 September 2022 lists both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a clerical duplication rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or structural corrosion issues appear in the official data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of load-bearing chassis members, subframe mounts, and brake calipers, as high annual mileage accelerates fatigue not always visible at test. Verify the 2022 dual entry with DVSA to confirm no omitted failure detail, and examine tyre sidewalls and exhaust emissions under load given the van's workhorse usage.
