2022 Ford Transit Connect 250 MS-RT Eblu 1.5L Diesel · YP72 NBB

The vehicle maintains current roadworthiness based on the most recent inspection, though the data indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. In the October 2025 test conducted at 32,052 miles, the tester flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin. While the vehicle passed the test, the presence of significant wear on both axles suggests that the previous owner deferred routine servicing until components reached a near-failure state. At 32,052 miles over four years, the Ford Transit Connect averages approximately 8,000 miles per year. This mileage aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle and suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to high-intensity stress. The record is sparse due to the vehicle's relative age, with only one formal MOT entry available to date, which limits the ability to track long-term trends in structural integrity or the rate of corrosion on the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the thin pads identified in 2025 were replaced with high-quality components. Check the brake discs for scoring or glazing, which often occurs when pads are left to run for too long. The reported damage to the nearside rear bumper also requires a close look for hidden mounting damage or structural deformation to the rear bodywork that an MOT might overlook. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perishing, as these can degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
