2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · NV65 AED

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 105,538 miles. This result follows a period of consistency where the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the 2023 failure indicated a lapse in maintenance, the subsequent two tests with no recorded defects suggest the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets operational requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, such as the 9,294 miles covered between September 2022 and October 2023, and another 6,463 miles between October 2023 and September 2024. This regularity suggests a predictable use cycle rather than long periods of standing, which often helps prevent internal component corrosion or brake seal-related issues in transit vans. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the history shows a recurring issue of nearside front tyres worn to the legal limit in 2020 and 2023. This often indicates an alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully rectified. Additionally, the 2023 failure for thin rear brake pads, pitted discs, and low brake efficiency highlights that while the vehicle passed recently, a physical check of the remaining pad life and the absence of binding calipers is necessary to ensure the components are not again nearing the end of their service interval.
