2023 Ford Transit Connect 250ACTIVE Eblu 1.5L Diesel · MJ23 VRD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 17 March 2026. The maintenance trend shows a rapid resolution of issues, as the vehicle failed a test just four days prior to this pass. While the initial failure highlighted specific safety and electronic de-fects, the subsequent re-test with no recorded defects indicates that the owner acted quickly to rectify the faults and bring the vehicle back to legal standards. At a recorded mileage of 25,390 miles after three years, the Transit Connect has averaged approximately 8,463 miles per year. This figure is consistent with typical usage patterns for a light commercial vehicle and suggests the components have not been subjected to excessive heavy loading or high-frequency cycles. The gap between the failure and the pass occurred at the same mileage reading, confirming that the repairs were performed in a single session rather than as a result of long-term mechanical degradation. A buyer must verify the work performed on the tyres to ensure the cuts flagged on the nearside and offside front tyres were replaced with high-quality rubber. The previous failure also noted a need for tracking, which necessitates a professional check of the wheel alignment to prevent uneven wear on the new tyres. Furthermore, the tester flagged an inoperative Engine Malfunction Indicator (MIL), so a diagnostic scan should be conducted to ensure no hidden fault codes remain and that the engine management system is functioning correctly.
