2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · AV67 YCJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in recent testing. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 January 2026 at 51,111 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. While the history shows a failure in January 2024, the immediate retest on the same day suggests that any identified issues were addressed promptly rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between January 2023 at 40,819 miles and January 2026 at 51,111 miles, the vehicle covered 10,292 miles, showing steady and predictable usage intervals. The gap of 4,083 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a period of lower annual use, which generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage commercial vehicles. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation rather than high wear. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms for cracking or perishing, which can occur over time even with low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as long periods of lower use can sometimes lead to oxidation on the braking surfaces.
