Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a mixed MOT
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a detailed inspection of the braking system. The 2022 failure and subsequent advisories suggest the van has been subjected to heavy use. Request evidence of any work carried out to rectify the 'minor oil leak' noted in the 2024 test, as this can often be a precursor to more significant engine issues if left unaddressed.
Check the vehicle's service history specifically for timing belt replacements and oil changes, which are critical for the 1.5-litre diesel engine. Given the previous issues with insecure headlamps and electrical malfunctions, ensure all dashboard warning lights clear correctly upon starting the engine and that all exterior lighting functions as intended.
As a Euro 6 diesel, this model is generally exempt from ULEZ and Clean Air Zone charges in most UK cities, which is a significant benefit for urban operators. Fuel economy will vary heavily based on load, but you should expect moderate costs typical for a mid-sized commercial vehicle.
Insurance and maintenance costs should be factored in alongside the likelihood of needing replacement brake components and potentially addressing the engine oil leak. Annual running costs, including VED, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated at £1,800-£2,300 depending on your annual mileage and usage profile.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the engine bay to verify the extent of the oil leak noted in the 2024 MOT. Additionally, check the condition of the brake discs and pads on all four wheels; the 2022 records showed premature wear, so ensure these have been replaced rather than just adjusted.
Inspect the headlamp units for security, as these were previously noted as loose. Test all electrical components, including the instrument cluster, to ensure the 'MIL inoperative' issue identified in 2022 has been fully resolved and is not recurring. Finally, check the windscreen wiper mechanisms and blades, as these have been a recurring advisory item.
This 2019 Ford Transit Connect has covered 70,463 miles since its registration in July 2019. The MOT history includes a multi-item failure in 2022 followed by three consecutive passes, though minor advisories regarding brake wear and oil leaks have persisted. Prospective buyers should weigh the utility of this Euro 6 diesel van against the documented history of component wear.
The Ford Transit Connect generally aligns with industry averages for commercial vehicles, though headlamp and wiper failures are common across the model range.
