2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · RE64 HVR

The vehicle history shows a significant decline in roadworthiness standards over the last twelve months. While the vehicle passed in early 2024 and 2025, it has failed consecutive tests in March and April 2026. The lack of recorded defects on these most recent failures suggests either an administrative error or a failure on a primary component that was not fully detailed in the summary. However, the transition from a pass in January 2025 to two immediate failures in 2026 indicates a breakdown in preventative maintenance and mechanical oversight. Mileage data shows the vehicle covered approximately 5,253 miles between January 2025 and March 2026, with the odometer rising from 102,050 to 107,313 miles. This represents a typical usage pattern for a commercial vehicle, yet the advisories from the January 2025 test reveal a history of neglect regarding consumables. The tester flagged both front brake pads as wearing thin, and all four tyres showed wear to the legal limit or specific inner edge wear. This consistent inner wear suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that remained unaddressed by the owner. Recurring issues with lighting and glass indicate a reactive approach to repairs. The record shows a cracked windscreen, deteriorated mirror glass, and defective light lenses and reflectors across the 2024 and 2025 tests. Furthermore, the deterioration of the rear suspension bump stops noted in 2025 suggests that rubber components are reaching the end of life. A buyer should inspect the suspension geometry and bushings thoroughly, as the history proves the owner only attends to faults following MOT failures rather than performing routine servicing.
