Our Verdict
Caution is strongly advised. While the a
The most urgent priority is to determine why the vehicle has no MOT records since November 2022. You must verify if the van has been SORN or if it has been driven without a valid test. Request a full service history to see if mechanical maintenance was performed during this gap, as a vehicle sitting idle for years can develop different issues than one in constant use.
Given the age of this 1.7L diesel engine, negotiate based on the likely need for a full comprehensive service and a fresh MOT. Check for evidence of timing belt replacements, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine variant that is not captured in MOT data.
This 1.7L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, though fuel economy will vary based on load and usage. Tax will be determined by the 2006 emissions standards, and insurance for the Transit Connect is typically competitive for small commercial vehicles.
Annual maintenance costs for a 20-year-old van can be volatile. Budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as brakes and suspension bushings, which are common requirements for this model's age. The estimated annual running cost includes fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance.
Inspect the chassis and sills thoroughly for corrosion, a known issue for Ford vans of this era. Because the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT since 2022, pay close attention to the tyres for perishing or flat spots and check that the brake calipers have not seized due to inactivity.
Reference the model's 66.9% average pass rate; this suggests that roughly one-third of these vehicles fail their tests. Focus your inspection on the suspension components and emissions levels, as these are common failure points for older diesel Connects.
This red 2006 Ford Transit Connect has a recorded mileage of 105,368 as of November 2022, which aligns closely with the model average of 6,584 miles per year. The MOT history provided for 2021 and 2022 shows two passes with no defects recorded. However, the lack of any MOT data from late 2022 to September 2026 represents a significant information gap for a potential buyer.
Aggregate data for 131 vehicles shows a 66.9% MOT pass rate, indicating a moderate level of reliability for this model.
