Our Verdict
Recommended, provided the buyer accounts
Focus your negotiation on the suspension and braking systems. The October 2025 MOT specifically highlighted perishing rubber on both the nearside and offside front wishbone rear bushes, as well as a binding nearside rear brake. These are wear-and-tear items that will soon require replacement to avoid a future MOT failure.
Verify the service history for the 1.6L diesel engine, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine variant. Ensure any evidence of the 'pitted or scored' brake discs noted in 2024 has been addressed, as these can impact braking efficiency over time.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Transit Connect offers a balance of payload capacity and fuel economy, though costs will vary based on urban versus motorway use. Maintenance costs for this specific vehicle are likely to be higher in the short term due to the suspension and brake advisories identified in the MOT history.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax (based on the 2015 diesel emissions bracket), and insurance for a commercial vehicle. Expect a moderate insurance group, though this depends on the driver's profile and the vehicle's intended use.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension. The MOT history from 2023 and 2025 shows a progression of wear in the front suspension arm pins and wishbone rear bushes; check for excessive play or visible cracking in the rubber components.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The 2024 record noted pitted and scored discs on the nearside front and offside rear, and the 2025 record noted a binding nearside rear brake. Check for uneven disc wear or overheating signs on the rear hubs. Finally, check the nearside rear shock absorber casing for the external damage mentioned in the 2023 test to ensure it has not worsened.
This white 2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L diesel has recorded 73,302 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. While it has passed all five recorded MOT tests since 2021, there is a recurring pattern of advisories relating to brake wear and suspension deterioration. Its total mileage is notably lower than the model average, suggesting lighter usage than typical for this vehicle type.
The Ford Transit Connect has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2% across over 200,000 analysed vehicles.
