2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · LD64 AVL

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a consistent history of passing MOT inspections. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 116,527 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful retest on 7 August 2024, where the tester had previously flagged an inoperative registration plate lamp. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural issues over the last several years suggests a disciplined approach to vehicle upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 43,322 miles in June 2017 to the current 116,527 miles. A notable period of lower usage occurred between May 2022 and May 2023, where the mileage only increased from 102,510 to 116,277 miles over a year, but the overall trend remains predictable for a commercial van of this era. There are no signs of erratic driving patterns or sudden, heavy mileage spikes that would typically indicate excessive strain on the drivetrain or suspension components. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no specific mechanical trends like recurring brake binding or suspension bush wear to highlight. However, the transition from 102,510 miles in May 2022 to 116,527 miles in November 2025 means the vehicle has covered over 14,000 miles in the last three years. A buyer should focus on inspecting consumable items that often fall outside the scope of MOT advisories, such as the condition of the brake discs, the integrity of the timing belt if applicable, and any signs of early-stage corrosion on the underbody or exhaust system. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus during a physical inspection should remain on service history documentation to confirm that oil changes and fluid replacements have kept pace with the recorded mileage. The mechanical history suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but a thorough check of the suspension bushings and tyre tread depth is advised to ensure the current roadworthiness matches the clean electronic record.
