2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · MK64 SDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 165,722 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the mechanical issues identified in 2024 and 2023 appear to have been addressed. This progression suggests the current or recent owner is responding to tester advisories rather than allowing faults to accumulate into failures. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 165,722 miles represents high usage, averaging approximately 13,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a significant jump of 9,901 miles covered between October 2022 and December 2023, and another 4,900 miles in the months leading up to the November 2024 test. This consistent workload places considerable stress on heavy-duty components, particularly the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension during a physical evaluation, as the 2024 test flagged play in the front suspension arm ball joint. While the latest test was clean, the history of worn-edge tyres and perishing rubber indicates that the vehicle frequently operates with alignment or consumable neglect. The windscreen also requires a check for further cracks, as damage was noted in both 2022 and 2024. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of the rubber bushings is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the heavy use.
