2007 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · WR07 ABK

The 2024‑07‑15 MOT at 147,739 miles passed without defect, confirming that the Transit Connect remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. Since the 2022‑05‑12 pass at 130,739 miles, the vehicle has cleared each subsequent test, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory reflects typical usage for a 19‑year‑old van: an increase of roughly 7,700 miles per year, with the most notable jump occurring between the July 2023 test (135,586 miles) and the July 2024 test (147,739 miles), adding 12,153 miles in twelve months. The 2022‑05‑10 failure at 130,738 miles resolved into a pass two days later at 130,739 miles, suggesting a minor issue was corrected before the next inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and underbody, as these components are prone to fatigue at this mileage.
