2022 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · WA71 DOG

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 23 March 2026 showing no defects. The inspection history across the two recorded tests in 2025 and 2026 indicates a stable pattern of compliance, as no mechanical failures or advisories have been flagged by the DVSA during these periods. The usage profile for this 2022 Ford Transit Connect involves a relatively high annual mileage accumulation of approximately 14,884 miles. This rate of use suggests frequent, long-distance, or heavy-duty operation rather than short, urban trips. Mechanically, this level of mileage increases the expected rate of wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, as well as more intensive stress on suspension bushings, dampers, and drivetrain elements compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. Given the absence of recorded defects or advisories, there are no specific component failures to target for investigation. However, the high annual mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the underbody and running gear. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the suspension linkages and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue. During a test drive, listen for any dull knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or dampers, and check for any steering pull or vibrations that might suggest uneven tyre wear or issues with the steering rack. The braking system should also be scrutinised due to the high mileage. While no issues were noted in the MOT history, the driver should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation during braking, which can indicate warped brake discs, or any pulling to one side that might suggest a binding caliper. Additionally, checking for any visible oil misting around the engine and gearbox seals is advisable to ensure that the higher mileage has not led to early seal degradation.
