2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · LP64 HBX

The MOT history for this 2015 Ford Transit Connect shows a concerning trend in recent testing. While the vehicle passed its inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, it suffered a failure in late 2025. This failure indicates that a specific mechanical or structural issue required repair to bring the vehicle back to road standards. Since that failure, the vehicle passed its most recent test in December 2025 with the same mileage reading, suggesting that the identified faults were addressed and rectified. The vehicle has covered 102,289 miles over eleven years, which averages to approximately 9,300 miles per year. This is relatively low for a commercial-style van, which may suggest less wear on the engine and transmission compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, the jump from 55,516 miles in 2022 to over 100,000 miles by 2025 indicates a period of heavy use. Such spikes in mileage often put significant strain on consumable components such as brakes, suspension bushings, and tires. Given the failure in late 2025, a potential buyer should verify exactly what repairs were made to ensure the fix was permanent. Although the vehicle currently holds a valid certificate, the sudden increase in mileage between tests warrants a close look at structural integrity and mechanical wear. A thorough inspection of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension system is recommended to confirm that the recent heavy use has not led to hidden degradation.
