Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for buyers seekin
Focus your negotiation on the immediate need for rear brake pads, as flagged in the June 2026 MOT advisory. You should also verify if the offside front tyre, which caused a failure in 2025 due to inner edge wear, has been replaced and if the wheel alignment was checked to prevent a recurrence.
Request the full service history to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has been maintained according to Ford's intervals, particularly as the vehicle has covered nearly 60,000 miles. Check for any evidence of oil leaks or timing belt replacement requirements based on the vehicle's age and mileage.
As a 1.5L Euro 6 diesel, this vehicle offers a balance of fuel efficiency and ULEZ compliance, which is critical for urban UK driving. Insurance groups for the Transit Connect are generally moderate, though this can vary based on the specific trim level and driver profile.
Typical maintenance will involve regular oil changes and the replacement of consumables like brakes and tyres, as seen in the MOT history. Given the diesel engine and commercial nature of the vehicle, expect annual costs to be slightly higher than a passenger car of similar size.
The most critical area for inspection is the braking system; check the remaining thickness of the rear pads as per the 2026 MOT advisory. Inspect all four tyres for uneven wear, specifically the inner edges of the front tyres, to determine if there is a persistent tracking or alignment issue.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and headlamps. While the wipers were a failure point in 2025, headlamps are noted as a top failure reason across the wider Transit Connect population and should be checked for clarity and function.
This black 2020 Ford Transit Connect has recorded 58,610 miles across five MOT tests. The history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with a single failure in 2025 due to a worn tyre and an ineffective wiper blade. The most recent test in June 2026 indicates that the rear brake pads are now wearing thin.
The Transit Connect has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with the most common failures relating to headlamps, wipers, and tyres.
