2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LE19 AEK

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend following previous failures. The most recent MOT conducted in July 2025 at 83,878 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in prior years have been addressed. This clean pass suggests the vehicle was maintained to a functional standard following its last inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant interval of 20,558 miles between the July 2023 test at 47,364 miles and the August 2024 test at 67,922 miles, followed by another 15,956 miles over the final year. This steady accumulation suggests typical commercial use rather than long periods of stationary time which often leads to seal degradation or corrosion. While the recent history is clean, the failures in July 2023 and August 2024 indicate periods where specific components required immediate attention before passing. Since the specific mechanical reasons for those failures are not detailed in the summary provided, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and braking components. Focus on checking for uneven wear on the control arms and signs of binding brake calipers, as these are common points of failure on the Transit Connect at this mileage bracket.
