2016 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YN66 NZA

This 2016 Ford Transit Connect has covered nearly 150,000 miles, which is significantly higher than average for its age. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has likely been utilised as a working commercial van, meaning drivetrain components, suspension, and steering linkages have been subjected to consistent, heavy-duty wear. The MOT history reveals a concerning trend of recurring neglect regarding basic maintenance. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed its initial inspection due to lighting defects and tyre degradation. The repeated failure for perishing tyres and faulty lamps suggests that the owner is only addressing safety-critical items when forced to do so for an MOT pass, rather than maintaining the vehicle proactively. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in December 2025, the pattern of failing on simple, preventable items like registration plate lamps and headlamp bulbs indicates a lack of routine care. The condition trend appears stable but poor; it is not improving, as the same categories of defects continue to surface annually. Given the high mileage and the history of neglected maintenance, you must be cautious. High-mileage Transit Connects are prone to wear in the turbocharger, dual-mass flywheel, and clutch assemblies, which are expensive to replace. Before purchasing, you should inspect the tyres thoroughly for any signs of cracking or uneven tread wear, as this has been a persistent issue.
