2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LO66 AEN

The Ford Transit Connect shows a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent DVSA test on 27 November 2025 at 105,098 miles, where the examiner recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. As of 19 July 2026, that certification is roughly seven months old, keeping the van legally roadworthy and the maintenance trend uneventful. Across the five examinations from 3 December 2021 to this latest check, the vehicle cleared each assessment without a single flagged fault, signalling consistent upkeep by the previous keeper. Mileage accumulation has fallen below the lifetime average for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 79,995 miles on 3 December 2021, rising to 98,196 miles on 22 November 2024 and 105,098 miles on 27 November 2025. That equates to roughly 6,300 miles per year across the logged period, against the approximate 10,510 miles per annum implied by the total odometer reading. No test gaps appear. The owner booked each examination within a few weeks of the prior year's date, reflecting disciplined servicing rather than sporadic use. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements before purchase. The tester noted no corrosion, yet a 2016 panel van of this mileage may harbour early rust on chassis legs or sill sections that a roadside MOT glance can miss. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on measurement for fatigue and wear, as these consumables degrade with age even without triggering a failure. The uninterrupted pass history implies the former operator prioritised basic upkeep and likely corrected minor defects proactively. Such stewardship reduces immediate risk, though pre-sale scrutiny of drivetrain noise and exhaust integrity remains prudent given the vehicle's decade of service.
