2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · WA07 ACO

The 2007 Ford Transit Connect presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 230,156 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 211,602 miles on 21 August 2024. The history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across any recorded test, indicating the van has been presented in a condition acceptable to DVSA standards at each examination. The recorded mileage of 230,156 over approximately 19 years equates to roughly 12,113 miles per year, which is high for a vehicle of this age and points to consistent commercial or delivery use rather than periods of standing. Between the May 2023 test at 207,442 miles and the August 2024 test at 211,602 miles the van covered only 4,160 miles in fifteen months, suggesting lighter use or a period off the road during that window. From August 2024 to October 2025 it added 18,554 miles, a return to regular high-frequency operation. The two failed tests on 16 May 2023 and 20 August 2024 both list no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues such as missing documentation or lamp function on arrival rather than mechanical failure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as a clean MOT does not measure metal thickness away from testable areas. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have absorbed heavy load cycles given the mileage, and should be physically checked for fatigue or scoring. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain noise warrant a road test to confirm the 2.0 litre unit remains within tolerance at 230,000 miles. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the lack of advisories across a high-mileage working van means worn consumables may simply fall below the tester's reporting threshold. Verify service history independently before purchase.
