2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BP69 AEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 81,846 miles passed, it carried advisories for both front tyres showing uneven inner wear. This follows a significant failure in January 2025 where the vehicle presented with critical braking defects and engine management issues. The trend suggests that the owner tends to address faults only once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 81,846 miles over six years, this Transit has averaged approximately 13,600 miles per annum. This mileage is consistent with a commercial vehicle and indicates regular use of the drivetrain and suspension components. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered nearly 8,000 miles in a single year. This rate of accumulation places higher mechanical stress on consumables like brakes and tyres, which is evidenced by the rapid degradation of the brake discs and the total failure of the rear tyre within that short period. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the record shows recurring issues with shock absorber bushes and uneven tyre wear. The failure in January 2024 regarding an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp suggests that past electrical or sensor faults may have been cleared rather than fully diagnosed. Furthermore, the braking system has shown a history of pitting and thinning across all four discs. An inspection should verify the current thickness of the discs and the efficiency of the parking brake to ensure the previous failures in early 2025 have been permanently rectified.
