2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · WR12 YAN

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of recurring advisories and intermittent failures, with the most recent test on 10 November 2025 resulting in a pass following a failure for an inoperative central rear stop lamp. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows persistent issues with consumables and minor leaks. An oil leak has been flagged as an advisory in three consecutive tests, specifically on 04 August 2023, 04 October 2024, and 10 November 2025. The recorded mileage of 188,620 miles indicates high usage for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 18,862 miles per year. This high-mileage profile aligns with the frequent advisories regarding wear on tyres and braking components. While the records provide a consistent annual testing pattern, the cumulative mileage suggests increased mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the persistent oil leak noted since August 2023. The braking system requires close scrutiny, as the records show a long-term trend of pitted or scored front brake discs and thinning pads, with the most recent advisory on 10 November 2025 specifically noting front disc wear. Tyre condition also warrants attention. The August 2023 test flagged offside front tyre wear, the October 2024 test noted all four tyres were close to the legal limit, and the November 2025 test identified a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge. Given the high mileage and the frequency of these consumable-related advisories, checking the remaining tread depth and the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is advisable. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
