2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · SL19 TZP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 28 July 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passes with no recorded defects or advisories across several years. The failure on the same day as the final pass suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage is high for a seven year old vehicle, averaging over 21,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between July 2024 and July 2025, where the odometer rose from 117,068 to 148,873 miles. This jump of over 31,000 miles in a single year indicates heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear items. A buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the depth of the tyre treads, since these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. The suspension should be checked for play or leaking shocks given the heavy load and distance covered. Attention should be paid to the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly if the vehicle operated in coastal areas or on salted winter roads. While the DVSA records show no structural failures, the sheer mileage makes a manual check of the exhaust system and engine mounts prudent to ensure the vehicle remains mechanically sound.
