2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · VG10 CON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 70,212 miles passed, yet it carried advisories for a damaged mirror and a worn offside rear tyre. This follows a trend seen in late 2024 where the vehicle failed due to significant brake wear and electronic faults, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach the point of legal failure. At 70,212 miles over seven years, the Transit Connect averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows consistent progression, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 8,000 miles covered between September 2024 and July 2025. While the mileage is not excessive, the frequency of tyre related failures indicates that the vehicle is being subjected to consistent loads that require regular inspection between annual intervals. A buyer should closely inspect the suspension and wheel assemblies, as the record notes a distorted nearside front road wheel in 2023 and recurring edge-wear on tyres across multiple axles. These symptoms often point to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the repeated failure regarding the engine malfunction indicator light (MIL) in 2023 and 2024 warrants a diagnostic check to ensure the underlying sensor or emissions fault has been properly resolved rather than simply cleared. Given the history of thin brake pads recorded in 2024, a physical check of the remaining life and caliper condition is necessary to ensure the components have not been neglected.
