2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · PF60 PXL

The 2010 Ford Transit CONNECT is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a distinct deterioration trend in suspension and structural integrity, suggesting a lack of consistent basic upkeep. The most recent test on 2023-06-14 at 143,365 miles was a PASSED result, which indicates the vehicle is still within legal limits, but the data points to an accelerated wear pattern compared to the earlier 2022 test. The maintenance record shows significant gaps and rapid accumulation of mileage, particularly concerning the suspension and braking systems. The 2022 test at 139,856 miles was also a PASSED result, yet the vehicle's structure is noted as corroded, which implies that the vehicle may have suffered from corrosion-related issues that were not immediately addressed. This lack of proactive maintenance between the 2022 and 2023 tests creates a risk of further degradation, as the suspension components and the brake system are prone to failure over time. A buyer should inspect the rear and front suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or excessive play, as well as the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding. The 2021 test flagged an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, which is a critical indicator of worn components that must be replaced immediately. The 2020 and 2019 tests further confirm that the front and rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven for over a decade without regular rotation or replacement of these components. The overall maintenance trend is one of worsening wear, with the vehicle likely approaching the structural integrity limits due to the lack of consistent upkeep.
