2020 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · OU70 KWF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 64,355 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of neglect in late 2024. While the 2024 failure revealed multiple mechanical lapses, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that the owner addressed the identified faults to meet minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. There was a gap of 13,233 miles between the September 2023 test at 37,273 miles and the September 2024 test at 50,506 miles. The most recent interval covered 13,649 miles in exactly one year. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and fuel system components. A buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection. The September 2024 failure flagged thin brake pads at 2mm at 50,506 miles, and the test just five days later at 50,696 miles confirmed they were still worn. Although these were likely replaced before the 2025 test, the buyer should check the remaining pad thickness and inspect the discs for uneven wear or heat glazing. The previous failure regarding windscreen wipers and headlamp aim suggests that basic peripheral maintenance was previously overlooked, so a thorough check of the rubber blades and light alignment is necessary.
