Ford Transit Connect (2014)
2014 Ford Transit Connect
CarHunch analysed 11,923 real MOT records for the 2014 Ford Transit Connect. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Ford Transit Connect matches the UK average pass rate at 80%, which is reassuring, but half of all examples have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a significant concern for any prospective buyer that warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Virtually all of these are diesel models, and they perform identically to petrol equivalents, so fuel type isn't a differentiator here.
At 88,000 miles median and 92,000 miles average, these vans are running relatively high mileage for their age, which explains the 2.29 average failures per test. The real issue is the 12.2 advisories per vehicle—electrical and wear items crop up constantly—so budget for regular remedial work and check service history carefully before committing.
What to check before buying a 2014 Ford Transit Connect
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.
- ⚠️ 50.8% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
