Reliability
The Ford Transit Connect has an average MOT pass rate of 69.4%, which is 15.7 percentage points below the Ford brand average of 85.1%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Transit Connect on the road.
The most common reasons a Ford Transit Connect fails its MOT are the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, a transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc, parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement. If you are preparing your Transit Connect for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Ford Transit Connect, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
