Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
The primary concern is the July 2024 MOT failure, which listed an inoperative or malfunctioning Engine Management Light (MIL) and an oil leak. You should request specific invoices or service records proving that the MIL issue was diagnosed and permanently repaired rather than simply reset. Check if the oil leak mentioned in 2024 was ever fully rectified, as it remained an advisory on the subsequent pass.
Given the mileage of 111,789 miles, a full service history is essential. Negotiate the price based on the upcoming maintenance requirements for a high-mileage diesel, such as timing belt replacement if not already documented, and ensure all tyres have healthy tread depths given the previous failure for exposed cords.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for commercial efficiency, but running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's high mileage. Expect standard diesel maintenance costs, with particular attention needed for the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) if the vehicle is used for short city trips.
Annual costs will include road tax based on the 2018 diesel emissions bracket and insurance for a commercial vehicle. Combined with fuel and routine servicing, the estimated annual expenditure is likely to be higher than average due to the wear and tear associated with 111,000+ miles.
Perform a detailed inspection of the engine bay to look for evidence of the oil leak recorded in July 2024. Check the dashboard for any active warning lights and verify that the engine management system is functioning correctly.
Inspect the tyres, particularly the nearside front, for uneven wear patterns. The 2024 failure for 'ply or cords exposed' suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or a history of under-inflation. Finally, check all external lighting, as a headlamp failure was recorded as recently as November 2025.
This silver 2018 Ford Transit Connect has recorded 111,789 miles, which is notably higher than the model average. The MOT history is mixed, featuring a clean pass in 2023, a significant failure in 2024 involving engine and tyre issues, and a minor lighting failure in 2025. The vehicle's history suggests a period of neglect in 2024 that requires verification of repair.
The Transit Connect has a 76.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failures typically linked to headlamps, wipers, and tyres.
