2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · S26 DDM

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent MOT test conducted in April 2025 at 140,944 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum standard. This follows a clean pass in May 2024 after an initial failure on that same day, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults immediately. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Between the September 2021 test at 119,150 miles and the April 2025 test at 140,944 miles, the vehicle covered 21,794 miles, representing a steady usage pattern. The gap of 5,485 miles between the March 2023 and May 2024 tests shows regular annual operation without signs of long-term neglect or excessive seasonal strain. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the high-wear areas typical for a Ford Transit Connect of this age and mileage. Focus on the suspension bushes, wish arms, and coil springs, as these often degrade before appearing on an MOT failure sheet. Given the 140,000-mile mark, checking the brake discs for thinning and inspecting the structural integrity of the sills for corrosion is essential to ensure no hidden rust is developing between the annual tests.
