2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · SF65 ACG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection on 7 January 2026 at 112,347 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a period of minor consumable issues, suggesting that recent maintenance has addressed previous concerns. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from mechanical and lighting advisories in earlier years toward a clean certificate in the most recent test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,235 miles per year. Between the January 2020 test at 84,304 miles and the March 2021 test at 107,760 miles, the vehicle covered a significant distance of 23,456 miles, indicating a period of more intensive use. Since 2021, the mileage has increased more gradually, with the 2,252 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests suggesting a return to more moderate, typical usage patterns. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition and suspension components. The January 2025 test flagged nearside front and both rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. While the 2026 test shows no defects, a physical inspection is necessary to ensure these tyres were replaced and that the uneven wear was not caused by underlying suspension issues such as worn bushes or incorrect tracking. The 2021 test at 107,760 miles noted thinning front brake pads, which is standard wear for a vehicle of this mileage, but it warrants a check of the current brake disc thickness and caliper condition. Given the history of tyre wear and brake pad advisories, a thorough inspection of the braking system and the integrity of the suspension geometry is recommended to confirm that the recent clean MOT reflects a well-maintained vehicle rather than just a momentary pass.
