2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · P4 RMY

The 2007 Ford Transit Connect, with 176,813 miles, passed its most recent MOT on 2026-01-09. The maintenance trend appears to be stable, with recurring issues such as the nearside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot being severely deteriorated and tyres worn close to the legal limit. These issues have been present in multiple tests, indicating a pattern of wear that has not significantly worsened but also not fully resolved. The vehicle's mileage is 176,813 miles, which is roughly typical for its age, averaging about 9,306 miles per year. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulations noted in the provided MOT history. The recorded mileages at each test—161,395 miles in January 2022, 166,053 miles in January 2023, 168,799 miles in January 2024, 172,854 miles in January 2025, and 176,813 miles in January 2026—suggest consistent use without any unusual spikes or periods of inactivity. A potential buyer should pay particular attention to the nearside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot, which has been flagged as severely deteriorated in several consecutive MOTs. This component's condition indicates a need for regular inspection and possible replacement. Additionally, the tyres, especially the offside and nearside front, have been noted as worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that tyre maintenance and replacement may have been delayed. The slight play in the offside front wheel bearing and the misalignment in the track rod end, along with the corrosion near the chassis mountings, should also be carefully examined. These issues, while not immediately critical, could indicate underlying wear and require further investigation to ensure the vehicle's long-term reliability.
