Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to a single MOT failure and above-average mileage for a 2019 model.
Prioritise inspecting the nearside headlamp alignment and registration plate lamp functionality, as these were previously failed. Request full service history to verify maintenance records, as none is available. Negotiate the price to account for the 2022 failure and high mileage. Check for any additional electrical system issues common to this model. A pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic is strongly advised.
The 1.5L diesel engine offers decent fuel economy, typically 35-40 mpg on the motorway. As a Euro 6X vehicle, it incurs £155 annual road tax. Insurance group data is unavailable, but diesel vans generally fall into mid-range groups. Maintenance costs may increase with high mileage, particularly for diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems. Estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Focus on the nearside headlamp alignment and registration plate lamp, which failed in 2022. Inspect the DPF system for clogging, common in diesel vans. Check for leaks under the vehicle and assess the condition of the clutch and transmission, as these components can wear quickly with high mileage. Verify that all electrical systems (e.g., lights, wipers) function correctly.
This 2019 Ford Transit Connect has a generally clean MOT history with no defects recorded in four of its last five tests. However, a 2022 failure related to headlamp alignment and a registration plate lamp issue raises concerns. The vehicle has accumulated 85,767 miles, exceeding typical usage for its age. Its Euro 6X diesel engine and silver exterior are notable features.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Ford Transit Connect, but this vehicle's single 2022 failure suggests potential for electrical or alignment issues common in older vans.
