Ford Transit Connect 200 Trend (2014)
2014 Ford Transit Connect 200 Trend
CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2014 Ford Transit Connect 200 Trend. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Ford Transit Connect 200 Trend diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 58.8%, well below the UK average of 80%, which signals reliability concerns for this particular generation and spec. No vehicles in this cohort recorded dangerous defects, which is reassuring, though the consistently weak pass rate across the small diesel population suggests systemic issues rather than random failures.
These vans average 101,272 miles—reasonable for a nine-year-old commercial vehicle—yet still struggle through MOT with 0.31 failures per vehicle on average and zero recorded advisories, indicating problems are discrete rather than accumulating wear. If you're considering one of these, budget for remedial work: expect to fail MOT on first submission and factor repair costs into your offer.
What to check before buying a 2014 Ford Transit Connect 200 Trend
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
