2022 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LE71 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 17 February 2026 at 68,854 miles, which passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a clean result from the previous inspection on 11 February 2025. The absence of failures across both tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum safety and environmental requirements. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a four-year-old van, averaging approximately 17,200 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 14,446 miles in exactly one year. This consistent accumulation is typical of a commercial or long-distance commuting application, which typically places higher stress on wear-related components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components compared to lower-mileage examples. While the MOT record shows no structural or mechanical failures, a physical inspection must focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should examine the suspension for perished rubber bushes or worn coil springs, as these often degrade under heavy loads. Given the mileage, the brake system should be checked for thin discs or worn pads, as the MOT only tests for efficiency rather than thickness. Additionally, inspecting the underbody for early signs of corrosion is prudent to ensure the high mileage has not involved frequent exposure to salted road environments without adequate cleaning.
