2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · JM65 BAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 69,454 miles flagged thin rear brake pads and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed, the recurring presence of consumable wear issues suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than performing regular preventative servicing. At approximately 69,454 miles over seven years, the Ford Transit Connect sits within a typical usage bracket of roughly 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, with nearly 10,000 miles covered between the August 2023 test at 43,981 miles and the July 2024 test at 53,960 miles. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, though the mileage justifies the potential degradation of rubber components and brake system-related parts. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the record shows multiple instances of tyres worn on the edges across 2023 and 2025. This pattern often indicates underlying tracking issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Furthermore, the brake system requires a check for uneven wear or binding calipers, given the 2025 advisory regarding thin rear pads. Given the previous failures for a defective indicator and wiper blades, a basic functional test of all exterior lighting and wiper assemblies is necessary to ensure no new electrical faults have emerged.
