2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · YP14 HDK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 9 April 2026 at 104,293 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 104,282 miles. This immediate pass suggests either an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified instantly, as no specific defects were logged on the failed report. Since April 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recorded structural advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old van, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the vehicle covered 9,922 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern of roughly 3,300 miles annually during that specific period. This regular use is generally beneficial for mechanical components, as it prevents long periods of standing that can lead to seized seals or excessive corrosion on the braking surfaces. The lack of significant mileage spikes indicates the vehicle has been used predictably rather than being subjected to extreme heavy commercial loads. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Ford Transit Connect of this age. The buyer should examine the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking, as these often degrade before they trigger an MOT failure. Given the mileage has surpassed 100,000 miles, checking the condition of the brake discs and looking for thinning on the underside and sills is essential to ensure no hidden structural corrosion is present that the recent tests did not flag.
