2014 Ford Transit Connect 1.6L Diesel · YR64 AAY

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-03-03 confirming no defects at 81,541 miles. The vehicle’s maintenance trend shows stability, as the prior 2024-03-04 test (77,251 miles) and the 2022-09-08 test (70,432 miles) also passed without issues. However, a failed test on 2024-03-04 at 77,246 miles—just five miles earlier—suggests a possible administrative error or a minor non-compliance that was rectified. No recurring defects or structural concerns are documented in the record, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage of 6,795 miles, reflecting typical light commercial vehicle operation. The 2021-09-02 test at 63,462 miles shows a 7,000-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 6,819-mile rise to 70,432 miles by 2022-09-08. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, with 4,290 miles added between 2024-03-04 and 2025-03-03. No significant gaps or rapid wear patterns are evident, though the failed 2024 test at 77,246 miles warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age, and verify brake components for corrosion or uneven disc wear. The absence of structural rust or major mechanical advisories in the MOT history is positive, but the 2024 failed test—though unexplained—merits further investigation. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the exhaust system, steering linkage, and wheel bearings, as these components often degrade over time in high-mileage commercial vehicles. The record suggests no critical faults, but the failed test underscores the need for a thorough mechanical check before finalizing the purchase.
