2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · LB15 UTR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 94,189 miles resulted in a failure just one day prior due to an inoperative registration plate lamp, nearside reversing lamp, and an illegal offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately following these repairs, the recurring nature of tyre failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed safety-critical items when they prompted a MOT test failure. At 94,189 miles over eleven years, this Ford Transit Connect averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation shows consistent intervals, with roughly 7,700 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,300 miles covered in the year leading to the latest test. This steady use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the age-related wear remains. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the February 2025 test at 88,831 miles flagged pitted and scored front brake discs. While the vehicle passed since, these discs likely require replacement alongside new pads to ensure effective stopping and prevent further corrosion. Given the history of tyre tread depth failures in 2024 and 2026, it is also vital to check the current condition of all four tyres for sidewall damage and wear, as the record indicates a tendency to neglect these consumables until they reach the legal limit.
