2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.0L Petrol · AF70 KPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test in September 2025 at 31,814 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect in 2024. While the vehicle previously suffered from multiple wear items, the lack of defects in the latest inspection indicates that the previous owner addressed the outstanding mechanical issues identified in the prior year. At six years old, the recorded mileage of 31,814 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. This low usage suggests light duty, which typically reduces strain on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the gap between the September 2023 test at 18,328 miles and the September 2024 test at 25,445 miles shows a consistent increase of roughly 7,000 miles, which aligns with the general pattern of use despite the overall low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and rubber components. The 2024 record flagged thin front pads and worn rear pads alongside worn rear discs. Although these were theoretically resolved, a tester should check for remaining pad thickness and uneven caliper pressure. The 2024 advisory also noted perishing and damage on both rear tyres. Given the low mileage, these tyres are prone to dry rot, which should be inspected for sidewall cracking regardless of how much the tread depth remains sufficient. The failure in September 2023 at 18,314 miles due to high exhaust lambda readings indicates a past emissions issue. Since the vehicle passed subsequent tests without comment, the buyer should monitor the engine for any irregular idling or poor fuel economy to ensure the oxygen sensor system remains stable. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or suspension failure in the records, suggesting the chassis has remained well-protected.
