2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LB70 WBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the test in December 2025 at 23,961 miles, it had failed just one day prior at 23,957 miles. This failure revealed critical front brake pads and thin rear pads, alongside worn front tyres, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical defects once they reached the point of legal failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between December 2023 at 10,946 miles and December 2024 at 17,515 miles, the vehicle covered 6,569 miles, which represents a significant spike above its annual average. However, it then covered only 6,446 miles in the following year. Such low annual usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the repairs made after the December 2025 failure were completed professionally. The recurring mention of tyres worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that were not explicitly flagged by the MOT tester. You should also check the fluid levels and the condition of the brake discs, as low-mileage usage often results in moisture absorption and surface pitting on components that are not frequently used.
