2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · OS 6635

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 67,647 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded, mirroring the clean results of the previous four annual tests. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older transit vans. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between March 2021 at 48,813 miles and January 2026 at 67,647 miles, the vehicle covered 18,834 miles, indicating a consistent but light-use profile. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests and low annual usage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Inspect the suspension for cracking in rubber bushes and check the coil springs for signs of surface corrosion, as the low mileage does not prevent environmental oxidation. You should also verify that the calipers are not seized and the discs are free of heavy pitting, while checking the structural integrity of the chassis and door sills to ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the clean test records.
