2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · SN64 VFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in May 2025 at 122,582 miles passed with only a minor failure regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp. This follows a significant failure in May 2024 where multiple mechanical and safety defects were identified. Since that critical failure, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the urgent mechanical issues flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old light commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady accumulation, with 15,855 miles covered between April 2022 and April 2023, and another 16,446 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This regular use suggests the engine has been under consistent work, which explains the gradual wear on consumable components like brake pads and tyres. There are no long periods of inactivity indicated in the mileage data. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and braking system, as the 2024 failure highlighted a rough offside front wheel bearing and dangerously thin brake pads. While these were reportedly repaired, the presence of an ABS warning lamp during that same test necessitates a diagnostic check to ensure the sensor or module was fully rectified and cleared. The recurring mention of thin brake pads in both 2022 and 2024 indicates a history of stretching service intervals. Given the age and mileage of this Transit Connect, a physical inspection for corrosion on the chassis and structural integrity of the mounting points is also essential.
