2019 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 April 2025 at 65,453 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent, although the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within very short intervals. These instances suggest the previous owner addresses specific non-compliance issues just before the test deadline rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance, yet the vehicle consistently meets the minimum legal standards for roadworthy operation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light commercial or domestic use, averaging approximately 9,350 miles per year over the seven-year period. Between August 2023 at 38,444 miles and August 2024 at 56,902 miles, the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles in a single year, indicating a period of heavy usage compared to its overall average. The subsequent interval dropped significantly, with only 8,551 miles recorded between the August 2024 and April 2025 tests, which mitigated the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as the recurring failures in July 2024 and April 2025 suggest minor mechanical components like bulbs, wipers, or minor leaks may be the primary cause of test failure. While the record shows no persistent advisories for structural corrosion or binding calipers, the age of the Transit Connect necessitates a close check of the rear coil springs and exhaust mounting for areas where rust may be beginning to manifest. Verify the brake fluid and tyre condition to ensure the lower annual mileage has not resulted in neglected rubber or hydraulic components.
