2009 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · PE09 ACO

The 2009 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing on 22 July 2024 at 115,244 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no advisories or failures beyond a duplicate test entry on the same date. The earlier failure on 22 July 2024 at 115,242 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a seventeen-year-old van, averaging roughly 6,779 miles per year. The record moves from 89,071 miles on 2 April 2021 to 99,934 miles on 26 May 2022, then 109,391 miles on 21 July 2023, and 115,244 miles by July 2024. A fourteen-month gap separates the 2021 and 2022 tests, but annual testing resumes thereafter. The clean pass sheet at every stage suggests previous owners kept basic statutory compliance current. With no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT file alone reveals no recurring mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as MOT passes at this mileage do not certify component life remaining. Given the low annual use and absence of flagged wear, the van likely saw light commercial or private duty. Verify service history independently, since the MOT record confirms legal roadworthiness only, not drivetrain condition or hidden consumable fatigue.
