2003 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · LC53 HFL

The most recent MOT on 4 June 2025 passed at 100,644 miles, confirming the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that date. A failure recorded a month earlier on 6 May 2025, followed by this pass, indicates that any issue identified was remedied, leaving the current trend stable rather than deteriorating. Across 23 years the odometer shows 100,644 miles, averaging roughly 4,400 miles per year – low for a vehicle of this age. Mileage rose from 92,914 miles on 20 December 2022 to 96,660 miles on 28 December 2023, a gain of 3,746 miles in twelve months, then to 100,631 miles by 6 May 2025, adding 3,971 miles over the next seventeen months. No abrupt spikes appear, suggesting consistent, moderate use without periods of heavy loading. Although the MOT entries list no specific defects, the two failures (December 2023 and May 2025) without recorded advisories point to an administrative or minor fault that was corrected. A buyer should therefore check tyre tread depth, examine brake discs and pads for wear, assess suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or fatigue, and inspect the under‑carriage for any structural rust. Verifying that lights, exhaust emissions and related systems function correctly will also confirm that no hidden issues remain.
