2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · RV69 PBU

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-24 recorded a defect: the nearside front inner tyre was worn close to the legal limit. This aligns with a recurring pattern of tyre wear issues, though the vehicle passed all other tests in the history. The 2023-09-19 MOT failed due to front tyre tread depth below 1.6mm, and the 2022-10-31 test noted nearside rear tyre wear near the limit. These suggest consistent tyre maintenance challenges, possibly linked to high mileage or driving conditions. The trend indicates intermittent tyre-related defects rather than a worsening condition. While the 2025 test passed, the same nearside front inner tyre remained close to the legal limit, implying potential neglect or ongoing wear. No other defects were recorded in the 2024 and 2023 tests, suggesting the vehicle’s overall mechanical state has been stable in recent years. However, the 2023 failure highlights a prior issue that was addressed, as the 2025 test showed no further tread depth failures. The vehicle’s mileage of 88,024 miles at 7 years old equates to roughly 12,575 miles per year, which is high for its age. This could indicate frequent use, increasing wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension components.
