2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LX69 YOY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 5 November 2025 at 109,155 miles, with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though not without minor recurring issues. The most recent failure on 6 October 2025 at the same mileage flagged a non-functioning high-level central stop lamp and windscreen damage affecting the driver's view, both of which were rectified before the retest five weeks earlier. A similar windscreen chip advisory has appeared consistently across multiple tests, suggesting the screen has been repeatedly chipped but not replaced. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a seven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 15,594 miles per year. The record shows a jump from 93,222 miles in August 2024 to 109,155 miles by October 2025, representing roughly 15,933 miles in just over twelve months. This is consistent with sustained heavy use rather than long periods of inactivity. No significant gaps appear in the annual testing pattern, indicating continuous use and regular MOT attendance. The recurring windscreen advisories and the intermittent high-level stop lamp fault point to a vehicle driven in conditions that cause screen chips, likely on motorways or unmade roads. The stop lamp issue could indicate a wiring or bulb holder fault rather than a simple bulb failure, given it recurred across consecutive tests. Buyers should inspect the windscreen closely for fresh chips or cracks that may worsen, and verify all three stop lamps function reliably, including the central high-level unit. Beyond the MOT flags, a hands-on inspection should focus on front suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs given the high mileage typical of commercial use. Brake discs and pads, along with tyre condition and age, warrant close scrutiny. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, particularly around load-bearing points and the sills, as high-mileage vans often show early signs of structural deterioration.
