2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · LT14 MWK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 122,077 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the previous owner has addressed the recurring minor issues identified in prior years. While the history shows a period of neglected consumable items, the transition to a clean test sheet in the latest inspection suggests a recent improvement in vehicle upkeep and maintenance standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the twelve-year age of the van, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 89,613 miles and January 2026 at 122,077 miles, the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,000 miles annually. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of seals, fuel systems, and braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that showed repeated neglect in the past. The January 2024 test at 103,204 miles flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, which often indicates poor alignment geometry or worn suspension bushes. Although these were likely replaced given the subsequent clean test, a check for uneven wear on the current tyres and play in the front suspension is advisable. The persistent reports of a damaged windscreen between 2023 and 2025 and the repeated failure of the registration plate lamp in 2023 and 2024 highlight a reactive rather than proactive approach to minor repairs. Since no structural corrosion advisories were recorded across these five years, the chassis should be sound, but a visual check of the sills and underbody remains standard practice for a Transit of this age.
