2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · SH69 HCZ

The most recent MOT (21 October 2025) recorded a mileage of 58,315 mi and returned a failure. The defects listed were: Near‑side rear tyre and off‑side rear tyre both worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear. Rear brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick. Rear brake discs showing wear, pitting or scoring, though not yet seriously weakened. These items are all consumables that deteriorate with mileage and use. The rear tyre wear mirrors an earlier front‑tyre warning from the 2024 MOT (near‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit). The appearance of brake‑pad and disc wear in 2025 is new, indicating that the braking system is now reaching the end of its service life. Overall the MOT record is clean apart from the recent wear‑related failures. The vehicle has logged roughly 8,300 mi per year, which is typical for a 7‑year‑old van. That mileage does not, on its own, point to either unusually hard use or long periods of inactivity; it simply means the vehicle has accumulated an average amount of wear.
