2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CK69 NWS

The 2019 Ford Transit Connect shows a consistent history of annual testing with a recent failure indicating specific mechanical attention. In the most recent test on November 2025 at 74,403 miles, the vehicle failed due to a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft boot and an inoperative engine management warning light. These faults suggest a lapse in preventative maintenance regarding drivetrain components and electronics prior to the inspection. However, the vehicle passed its previous November 2024 test at 61,269 miles, indicating that the wear on the drive shaft developed rapidly within the final year of operation. With 74,403 miles over seven years, the vehicle averages approximately 10,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial van of this age. The record shows a steady progression in mileage, moving from 18,403 miles in 2022 to 74,403 miles in 2025. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has been operated regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber components and seals. The recurring advisories across several years focus primarily on tyre wear, specifically the nearside and offside rear tyres reaching the legal limit in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This pattern indicates that previous owners replaced tyres only when they reached the minimum threshold rather than performing proactive replacement. No major structural corrosion or significant brake issues were noted in the history, but the buyer must verify that the offside front drive shaft boot has been replaced to prevent inner joint failure and that the engine management light has been cleared and investigated to ensure no underlying sensor faults remain.
