2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BK69 VLG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 5 November 2025 at 72,914 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement after a period of inconsistent upkeep. While the 2025 test initially failed due to a missing passenger airbag, a fault in the supplementary restraint system, and worn front tyres, the subsequent clean pass indicates these safety and consumable issues were addressed. The record shows a transition from multiple mechanical failures in 2022 to a much cleaner profile in 2024 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle is currently in a stable condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical commercial use profile for a seven-year-old vehicle. The odometer progressed from 30,056 miles in October 2022 to 47,627 miles in October 2024, and reached 72,914 miles by November 2025. This averages approximately 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year, which aligns with the provided context of typical usage. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, as the annual MOT cycle has been maintained steadily since 2022. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension components. The 2022 records show significant issues, including fluctuating service brakes, worn discs, and thin rear pads, alongside a serious fluid leak from the offside rear shock absorber. Although these were resolved to secure the 2024 and 2025 passes, a physical inspection of the shock absorbers for new leaks and a check of the brake disc surfaces for pitting or scoring is advisable. The recurring mention of windscreen washer insufficiency in 2024 and 2025 suggests minor maintenance items might be overlooked by the operator. Given the 2025 failure regarding the passenger airbag and the SRS warning lamp, verifying the integrity of the airbag system and ensuring no warning lights remain illuminated on the dashboard is essential. Finally, check the condition of the front tyres, as the most recent failure noted uneven wear on the edges, which can indicate underlying suspension geometry or alignment issues.
