2010 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · YP10 ADU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT activity on 13 July 2023 shows a pass and a simultaneous fail at 123,377 miles, both with no recorded defects. The duplicate entries indicate a retest without identified issues, suggesting the mechanical condition was stable at that point. No progressive deterioration is evident in the recorded data. Mileage progression from 111,496 mi in July 2021 to 119,111 mi in July 2022 (+7,615 mi) and then to 123,377 mi in July 2023 (+4,266 mi) reflects a slowing rate of use, consistent with an average of roughly 7,700 mi per year over its 16‑year life. The interval between the 2023 test and the current date of 8 August 2026 exceeds two years, meaning the MOT is well outside the standard validity window and a fresh test is required. A buyer should inspect the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, and check the exhaust for cracks or rust. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as well as the condition of wheel bearings and the under‑body for rust penetration. A visual scan of the chassis and door sills will reveal any structural corrosion that may have developed since the last recorded test. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary concern is the age of the MOT rather than any specific mechanical trend. A pre‑purchase inspection should include a road test to assess steering feel, clutch operation (if manual), and any abnormal noises. Documentation of any service work performed between 2023 and 2026 will help confirm whether the vehicle has been maintained according to typical usage patterns.
