2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BK19 XRH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear in the front assembly. While the most recent test on 22 May 2025 at 88,206 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just two days prior. This failure identified a split offside front inner CV boot and slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately suggests proactive ownership, though the components are reaching the end of their service life. At 88,206 miles over seven years, this Transit Connect has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per annum, which is consistent with a typical commercial use profile. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with an 8,734-mile gap covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 6,724 miles between June 2024 and May 2025. This consistent usage indicates the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of inactivity, but the higher mileage places greater strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain. The recurring issue with the CV boot—moving from a leak in 2024 to a split in 2025—indicates the offside front driveshaft assembly is prone to failure here. The noted play in the track rod end suggests that other steering-related components may be beginning to wear. Physical inspection should include a check for grease leakage around the driveshaft joints and the condition of the suspension arm bushes, as the high-mileage environment often accelerates the degradation of these pliable parts.
