2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · N28 RAT

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 4 June 2025 at 78,495 miles, where it passed without recorded defects. With three consecutive annual passes and no advisories, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 50,046 miles on 31 May 2023 to 62,864 miles on 29 May 2024, then to 78,495 miles on 4 June 2025. This equates to roughly 13,000 miles per year, which is high for a six‑year‑old Transit Connect and suggests relatively heavy use. The records show no gaps in testing, indicating the vehicle has been kept on a regular MOT schedule, but the rapid accumulation of miles warrants attention to wear‑related components. A prospective buyer should examine tyre tread depth and uniformity, as high mileage often accelerates tyre wear. Inspect suspension bushings, coil springs, and rear leaf springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion, especially around mounting points. Verify brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and confirm that the braking system operates without binding. Finally, a visual check for any surface rust on the chassis or underbody will help ensure that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains uncompromised despite its mileage.
