Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Given the high mileage of nearly 178,000 miles, any prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection. Focus on the underside of the vehicle to check for further corrosion, specifically regarding the brake pipes which were flagged as corroded and covered in grease in the 2021 MOT.
Negotiate based on the potential for upcoming repairs. You should ask for evidence of any work carried out to address the CV boot deterioration and the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers noted in the 2021 records. Additionally, verify if the oil leak mentioned in the MOT history has been rectified or if it remains a persistent issue.
As a 1.8L diesel van, running costs will be influenced by its age and mileage. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style, but diesel engines of this era are generally efficient for commercial use.
Insurance groups for a 2007 Transit Connect vary, but expect mid-range premiums. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the age of the vehicle and the specific failures seen in the MOT history, such as brake lines and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs should account for frequent servicing and potential component replacements.
A primary inspection point must be the braking system; the 2021 MOT specifically identified corroded rear brake pipes. Check that these have been replaced with new, clean lines rather than just being cleaned or covered in grease.
Inspect the drivetrain and suspension carefully. The MOT history noted severely deteriorated inner drive shaft CV boots and anti-roll bar linkage dust covers. Check for signs of grease leaking from these joints, which indicates imminent failure. Finally, ensure the bonnet latch is fully functional and secure, as this was a recorded failure point.
This 2007 Ford Transit Connect has covered 177,890 miles as of its last recorded MOT in December 2021, which is significantly higher than the model average of 9,088 miles per year. The MOT history shows a failure in late 2021 due to several issues, including brake pipe corrosion, CV boot deterioration, and a faulty bonnet latch. While it passed shortly after, the recorded oil leak and various component deteriorations indicate a vehicle that has been subject to heavy use.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, suggesting that a significant portion of these vehicles encounter issues during testing.
