2022 Ford Transit Connect 1.0L Diesel · MM71 OFJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 12 January 2026 at 81,295 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a single minor failure in late December 2024. That failure was limited to a non-mechanical issue regarding the rear registration plate, which was rectified immediately to pass the re-test on the same day. The mileage reflects high annual usage for a four-year age, averaging approximately 20,300 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test and the January 2026 test, the vehicle covered 15,509 miles in just thirteen months. This rate indicates consistent, heavy use, likely long-distance commuting. Such high mileage puts significant strain on wear-related components, particularly the suspension system and braking assembly, compared to lower-mileage commercial vehicles. While the MOT record is clean of structural or major mechanical failures, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear-rate items. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, and inspect the brake discs for thinning or scoring. Given the usage pattern, the drivetrain should also be monitored for signs of stress, as components often approach the end of their primary service interval around the 80,000-mile mark.
