2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · YC64 ABX

This Ford Transit Connect has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with the most recent test—conducted just six months ago on 19 November 2025—resulting in a clean pass at 122,318 miles. The only anomaly in the last year was a single failed test on 17 November 2025, but this occurred just two days before the subsequent pass, suggesting either a temporary administrative oversight or a minor, quickly resolved issue. There are no recurring advisories or defects spanning multiple tests, which indicates the vehicle has not suffered from persistent mechanical failures. However, the double testing in late 2025 warrants scrutiny of components that might have been borderline at the time, particularly brakes, suspension, or emissions systems, which are common causes for retesting. The mileage progression reveals a consistent annual average of approximately 10,200 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no extended gaps in service or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2024 to 2025 interval shows a 15,000-mile increase over a year—slightly above the average. This suggests regular, moderate use without prolonged periods of neglect. The absence of any advisories or defects in earlier tests further implies that previous owners maintained the vehicle at a baseline level, though no detailed service records are available to confirm preventative maintenance beyond MOT compliance. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that often fail without warning. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to gradual degradation over 120,000 miles. The brakes, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and rotor warping, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle was driven through wet or salted conditions. Structural integrity is also critical—inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as rust can compromise load-bearing elements. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust emissions system, as minor leaks or catalytic converter issues can escalate without immediate symptoms. While the MOT record suggests no major failures, these areas are where silent deterioration could pose future risks.
