2015 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · VO65 FSP

The vehicle presents a technically roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend despite high usage. The most recent MOT test on 23 April 2025 at 168,920 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests that a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately to ensure compliance, indicating a proactive approach to legal roadworthiness requirements. The lack of advisories across the last three passes indicates the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety standards for its mechanical components. At 168,920 miles over eleven years, this Ford Transit Connect has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 15,356 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, heavy use. Between November 2022 and December 2023, the vehicle covered 9,168 miles in just over thirteen months. Between December 2023 and April 2025, it added another 8,649 miles in sixteen months. This rapid mileage accumulation is typical for a commercial work vehicle but stresses the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems significantly more than a lower-use private car. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and underbody due to the high-mileage profile. Heavy loading often accelerates the wear of rubber bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which do not always trigger an MOT failure until they physically break. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as these are common failure points on vans of this age. Given the mileage, evaluating the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads is essential, as these components are likely nearing the end of their functional life..
