Ford Transit Connect (2015)
2015 Ford Transit Connect
CarHunch analysed 14,365 real MOT records for the 2015 Ford Transit Connect. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2015 Ford Transit Connect posts an 81.1% first-time pass rate, marginally ahead of the UK average, which suggests broadly average reliability for its age and mileage. However, half of these vehicles (50.1%) have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history—a notably high figure that should concern any prospective buyer, especially for a vehicle that may be used commercially.
At 82,400 miles median, these Transits show typical wear for a nine-year-old van, yet they're averaging nearly two failures per test and over ten advisories, pointing to ongoing maintenance costs beyond routine items. If you're considering one, prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on structural corrosion and brake condition, given the dangerous defect prevalence.
What to check before buying a 2015 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.
