2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · RJ10 HMA

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 196,011 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle met all primary requirements without defects. While a failure was recorded in September 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day suggest the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults once they are identified by the tester. The mileage profile reflects a consistent high-intensity usage pattern, averaging approximately 12,250 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 51,680 miles, representing an accelerated rate of over 17,000 miles per year. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commercial or transit purposes rather than sitting stationary for long periods. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three tests is unusual for a high mileage vehicle, implying that components are either well-maintained or replaced before reaching failure. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the nearly 200,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential, as these often degrade under heavy loads. The chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and mounting points where rust typically accumulates. While the MOT history is clean, the sheer mileage increases the likelihood of worn drivetrain components or minor leaks that require a physical road test.
