Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those needing a small van, provided the recent MOT failure is clarified. The vehicle has a consistent history of passing tests over the last several years.
When viewing this Transit Connect, ask the seller for details regarding the MOT failure on 2025-11-03. Although the record shows no specific defects listed for that failure, understanding what required rectification is essential for a transparent purchase.
Check the service history specifically for oil change intervals, as diesel engines of this era require consistent maintenance. Given the mileage has exceeded 110,000 miles, inspect the clutch and flywheel, as these are common wear items on commercial vehicles used for frequent stop-start driving.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Transit Connect is designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this model are generally moderate, making it affordable for small business owners or tradespeople.
Maintenance costs for Ford commercial vehicles are typically predictable due to the wide availability of parts. However, with mileage over 110,000, you should budget for potential replacements of wear-and-tear components like brakes, suspension bushings, and tyres.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. While this specific vehicle has no recorded corrosion failures, the aggregate data for Ford Transit Connects shows corrosion as a top failure reason. Check the chassis and sills for any signs of surface rust or structural degradation.
Additionally, inspect the tyres and headlamps. These are identified as common failure points for this model across the wider dataset. Ensure the tyres have adequate tread depth and that the headlamp lenses are clear and not significantly clouded, which can cause MOT failures.
This 2015 Ford Transit Connect features a 1.6L diesel engine and has covered 110,739 miles as of its last recorded test. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 9,155 miles per year, the MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, with only one recorded failure in November 2025. The vehicle's black paintwork and diesel powertrain are standard for this utility model.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.1% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, corrosion, and headlamps.
