2011 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · LD11 VFT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 August 2025 at 198,747 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes is evident. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test only to pass on the same day or the following day. This suggests that minor, reactive repairs such as bulb changes, wipers, or light adjustments are addressed only when legally required rather than through preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 198,747 represents a high annual average of approximately 13,250 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over recent years, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between September 2023 and August 2024, and another 3,500 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025. This steady workload indicates significant mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is typical for a commercial-derived vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underbody due to the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history. The vehicle requires checking for worn bushes, perished coil springs, and structural corrosion on the chassis points common to this model. Given the heavy use, evaluating the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the exhaust system is vital to ensure that these components have not reached the end of their functional life despite the clean MOT passes.
