2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · YP64 EAG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in June 2025 with 128,541 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive repairs. While the 2024 test revealed multiple failures related to lighting and tyres, the subsequent 2025 tests indicate that the owner addressed these immediate safety concerns, though minor hardware issues like bump stops appeared to reappear briefly. At 128,541 miles over twelve years, this Transit Connect averages approximately 10,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage progression appears consistent, with a 9,000-mile interval between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 5,500 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and seizing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the January 2024 failure highlighted significant inner wear on both front tyres. This often points to worn ball joints, deteriorated bushings, or incorrect geometry that requires adjustment. Additionally, the recurring mention of broken rear bump stops in 2023 and early 2025 suggests that minor rubber components are overlooked, which can eventually lead to damage to the chassis under heavy loads. Given the age and mileage, a thorough physical check for structural corrosion around the wing arches and floor pans is essential, as the record does not detail de-seated rust issues.
