2019 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YP69 CVB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 27 September 2025 at 95,904 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs, as the vehicle failed inspections immediately prior to passing in both 2024 and 2025. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the recurring failures suggest the previous owner only addressed mechanical or safety issues when forced by the annual testing requirement rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a heavy-use commercial profile, averaging approximately 13,700 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 62,793 miles and September 2024 at 79,868 miles, the vehicle covered 17,075 miles in a single year. This rate of use continued with another 16,036 miles in the following year. Such high mileage for a seven-year-old Transit Connect places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which typically accelerates the wear of consumable parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically checking for perished control arm bushes and worn coil springs, which are common on high-mileage vans. Given the history of failing before passing, the braking system should be examined for binding calipers or thin discs that may indicate neglected maintenance. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points for corrosion, as the clean record of the passes does not rule out emerging rust on the underbody chassis.
