2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · KX14 AET

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 15 July 2025 at 104,950 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though it followed a failed attempt on 10 July 2025 at 104,947 miles where the tester logged no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 12 July 2024 at 92,700 miles after a similar no-defect failure on 4 July 2024. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,746 miles against the 104,950 total, typical for a twelve-year-old van. The records show steady accumulation: 85,087 miles in July 2023, 92,700 in July 2024, and 104,950 by July 2025, an even climb of around 7,600 to 12,200 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, carrying no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. The repeated no-defect failures on 4 July 2024 and 10 July 2025 warrant scrutiny. A clean failure usually means the vehicle was presented without a required item or the test lapsed, not that the owner neglected consumables. Still, the absence of any recorded advisories across three years implies either meticulous upkeep or superficial testing, so a buyer should confirm the tester actually inspected brake discs, coil springs, and structural integrity rather than passing on sight. In person, check for hidden corrosion on chassis members and sills, inspect front suspension arms for worn bushes, and measure rear brake disc thickness and caliper freedom. Verify the tyre tread depths and exhaust emissions against the claimed clean record. The mileage is unremarkable, but the twin no-defect failures mean the paper history alone does not prove consistent mechanical care.
