Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The MOT records from January 2025 and January 2026 both highlight corroded brake pipes and insufficient parking brake efficiency; you should verify whether the pipes were fully replaced or merely patched. Check the service records for evidence of timing belt replacements, which is a critical maintenance item for this 1.7L diesel engine.
Negotiate the price based on the current advisories. The January 2026 test noted an oil leak, an exhaust flexi-section leak, and play in the anti-roll bar linkage, all of which will require financial investment to resolve. Additionally, the windscreen has been flagged as damaged in every test since January 2024, indicating a long-term issue that may eventually require a full replacement.
The 1.7L diesel engine is designed for commercial utility and reasonable fuel economy, though tax and insurance will depend on the specific usage profile. As a 2013 model, it will be subject to standard diesel tax bands for its age.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model due to the vehicle's age and the specific failures seen in the history. The recurring need for brake work and the recent identification of oil and exhaust leaks suggest that the vehicle is entering a phase of increased mechanical depreciation.
Specifically inspect the brake pipes and the parking brake mechanism, as these have caused multiple MOT failures across 2025 and 2026. Check the underside for the 'not excessive' oil leak and the exhaust flexi-section leak mentioned in the January 2026 report to gauge the severity of the current leaks.
Examine the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, which has been a persistent advisory since January 2025. Finally, check the windscreen for cracks or chips, as this has been a recurring advisory for three consecutive years.
This silver 2013 Ford Transit Connect has recorded 112,710 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures and advisories regarding brake pipe corrosion and braking efficiency in both 2025 and 2026. The most recent pass in January 2026 followed a failure that required repairs to the braking system and exhaust.
The Transit Connect has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, wipers, and tyres.
