2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · KS70 JCZ

A recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles defines the roadworthiness record of this vehicle. While it has maintained a consistent pass rate, including the latest test on 2026-07-01, the advisories indicate a trend of irregular tread depletion. Previous records from 2024 highlighted inner edge wear on both front tyres, and the most recent inspection has shifted the concern to the outer edge of the nearside rear tyre. The recorded mileage of 54,858 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 9,143 miles over its six-year lifespan. This usage profile is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age, suggesting a steady operational history without prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically coincides with the expected wear cycle for primary consumables and suspension components. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the wheel alignment and suspension geometry. The specific mention of inner edge wear on the front tyres and outer edge wear on the rear suggests the vehicle may suffer from incorrect camber or toe settings. During a test drive, pay close attention to any steering pull or a tendency for the vehicle to drift from a straight line on a level road. Further examination should focus on the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and track rod ends. Any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring could indicate worn linkages that are contributing to the irregular tyre wear noted in the DVSA records. Checking the current tread depth and wear patterns across all four tyres will confirm if the issues flagged in 2024 and 2026 have been rectified or if they persist.
