2011 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · NV60 RWO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on January 9,2026, at 98,250 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. While the vehicle failed in both December 2024 and January 2026, the subsequent passes without recorded defects suggest that identified issues are addressed promptly by the owner rather than indicating a developing mechanical or structural decline. The mileage profile is consistent with a 15-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 6,550 miles per annum. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the vehicle covered 6,897 miles, while a further 8,176 miles were recorded in the thirteen months leading up to the January 2026 test. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle is not sitting idle, which is generally beneficial for seals and fluid systems, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber components and suspension bushes may be nearing age-related degradation regardless of the relatively low total mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and braking system, as these are the most common points of failure for Transit Connects of this era. Given the recent failures that did not have specific defects listed in the summary, it is vital to check for play in the control arms, worn coil springs, and signs of binding brake calipers. Additionally, the structural integrity of the sills and wing arches requires close scrutiny, as surface corrosion that does not always manifest as an MOT advisory until it reaches a critical threshold.
