While the Ford Transit Connect is generally pretty dependable, one thing to check is the type of engine that is fitted and if it has a 'wet-belt' cambelt. There are some reported reliability issues with this engine, on 1.0-litre petrol and 1.5 and 2.0-litre diesel models. They can be reliable, but you need to ensure the belt is renewed every five years or 60,000 miles. If you want to avoid a wet belt, you may be better off with another VW Caddy of a similar vintage to the Ford.
