2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · ST14 AEA

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 48,007 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 21 January 2022 through to the 2025 renewal passed cleanly, showing no advisories or failures across the five-year window. The vehicle has clearly been presented for test in sound condition each time. Recorded mileage sits at 48,007 miles against an eleven-year service life, equating to roughly 4,000 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 36,475 miles in January 2022 to 39,278 by January 2023, then 42,081 in January 2024, 45,794 in January 2025, and 48,007 by July 2025. The progression is linear with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, and the six-month interval between the January and July 2025 tests added only 2,213 miles. Low annual use of this order often indicates short urban cycles or extended standing periods rather than sustained load. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across five consecutive tests gives no recorded signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. The absence of flagged items does not certify component health, merely that thresholds were not breached at test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc wear, as the Transit Connect is prone to sill and suspension degradation with age regardless of low mileage. Prolonged low-use patterns can permit tyre sidewall cracking, seized calipers, and fluid degradation unseen by MOT testers. Verify the actual condition of tyres, coolant, and brake fluid during a physical viewing before purchase.
