2009 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · SF09 LDP

A consistent absence of recorded defects across several years defines this vehicle's roadworthiness profile, although the most recent test on 30 June 2025 resulted in a failure. Despite this latest outcome and a previous failure on 2 July 2024, the lack of specific advisory notes or listed faults across the history suggests a vehicle that has maintained a stable mechanical baseline without chronic issues. The recorded mileage of 124,388 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,317 miles per year. This moderate usage pattern suggests the drivetrain and chassis have not been subjected to the extreme wear often associated with high-intensity commercial fleet work, yet the mileage is sufficient to indicate that the vehicle has remained in active service rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long-term stagnation. A notable anomaly exists in the records where the vehicle failed its tests in both June 2025 and July 2024, yet no specific defects were recorded in the summary. In the absence of detailed failure points, it is essential to review the original MOT certificates to identify the exact cause of these failures. This is critical to determine if the issues were administrative or related to safety-critical components that were subsequently rectified. Given the lack of recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake lines, or structural corrosion, there are no specific historical red flags to monitor. During a test drive, attention should be paid to the general health of the drivetrain and chassis, listening for any unusual knocks or vibrations that may have developed since the last successful test. Verification of the current roadworthiness is paramount given the most recent failure status.
