2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · ST14 AEC

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-10-30 assessment at 43,812 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed passing results with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s low mileage of 43,812—roughly 3,651 miles annually—suggests infrequent use, which may have preserved components but could also imply periods of inactivity potentially affecting fluid systems or electrical connections. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with the 2021-12-01 test at 25,796 miles followed by a 6,561-mile rise to 32,357 by 2022-10-28, then steady annual increments of around 5,000–6,000 miles. This pattern aligns with the vehicle’s age but lacks data points for periods beyond the MOT record. The absence of recurring defects in the history suggests no systemic issues, though the low mileage may mask wear on high-mileage components like tyres or brake discs. A buyer should inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, common in older vans, and check brake components for corrosion or uneven wear despite no MOT flags. The exhaust system and structural integrity warrant scrutiny, as rust can develop in low-use vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the lack of recent high-mileage exposure means physical inspection is crucial to confirm component functionality and identify any hidden deterioration not captured in the tests.
