2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · VO15 UTZ

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 54,044 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded advisories in several years. This indicates a shift toward minor consumable wear after four years of clean sheets between 2021 and 2024, suggesting the mechanical components have remained sound without significant recurring failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage with a 4,661-mile gap between 2023 and 2024, and another 3,592 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition, as the 2025 test flagged perishing and cracking on both the offside and nearside rear tyres alongside a nail in the nearside tyre. These symptoms are typical of low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary, causing the rubber to dry out despite tread depth. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and brake lines for cracking or corrosion, as the infrequent use can lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components that are not always caught during a standard MOT inspection.
