2009 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · LT09 UDY

The 2009 Ford Transit Connect is presently roadworthy, as confirmed by the October 7 2021 MOT at 222,054 miles, which recorded no defects. The failure noted on October 5 2021 was resolved before the subsequent pass, indicating a stable maintenance trend after corrective work. With a recorded mileage of 222,054 at 17 years old, the vehicle averages about 13,062 miles per year, a figure that suggests considerable usage and accelerated wear on consumables. No mileage change appears between the two tests, implying that the vehicle may have been stationary for periods, yet the high annual average points to heavy use overall. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or binding, examine the rear brake calipers and discs for corrosion or uneven wear, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and any welds for rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills. The exhaust system requires checking for leaks or excessive smoke, and tyre tread depth and wiper condition should be confirmed, as these items reflect ongoing maintenance practices.
