2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BJ69 KTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 75,391 miles resulted in a pass, it failed just one day prior due to multiple electrical faults and brake wear. The recurring nature of thin rear brake pads and worn tyres across several years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten an MOT test result, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 75,391 miles over six years, this Ford Transit Connect has averaged approximately 12,500 miles per year, which is consistent with a heavy commercial use profile. The data shows a significant surge of 14,327 miles between December 2023 and January 2025, followed by another 9,648 miles in the subsequent eleven months thereafter. This high rate of accumulation places considerable stress on consumable components and suspension assemblies, which explains the consistent advisories regarding tyre wear and brake thinning noted throughout the records. A hands-on inspection must focus on the braking system and fluid integrity. The 2023 test flagged a non-excessive oil leak, which should be monitored for progression as the mileage continues to climb. Given the repeated reports of thin brake pads, the buyer should inspect the rear discs for uneven scoring or excessive lip, and ensure the calipers are not binding or seizing. Additionally, the persistent history of tyres with cuts or those reaching the legal limit indicates potential alignment issues or poor tyre quality, necessitating a check of the suspension bushes and shock components for premature wear.
