2006 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · LB06 BCZ

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 131,780 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for low headlamp aim on both sides. This failure represents a minor adjustment issue rather than a mechanical defect. Prior to this, the vehicle passed three consecutive tests without any recorded defects, suggesting the van has been consistently maintained over the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Data shows a period of higher activity between January 2024 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered 394 miles in just six weeks. Since the February 2025 test, the vehicle has covered 2,782 miles over the year. This low annual mileage suggests the van is used for short trips or remains stationary intermittently, which can limit the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage commercial use. While the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. Ford Transit Connects of this era are prone to structural rust in the sills and rear mounting points which MOT tests do not always catch until they become significant. Given the low mileage, check for brake caliper seizing or seized sliders resulting from long periods of inactivity. Verify that the recent headlamp aim adjustment remains secure to ensure the mounts are not loose, which would cause a repeat failure.
