Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

33 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Ford Transit Connect (LJ04 BAD) between July 2007 and March 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 16 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (33 issues), Brakes (24 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Battery insecure and likely to fall from carrier (4.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension component ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
