2018 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · CP18 EYU

The 2026‑06‑06 MOT at 57,320 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the van is presently roadworthy. The maintenance history demonstrates a stable trend, as the only advisory noted in earlier tests concerned front‑tyre wear, which appears to have been corrected before the latest inspection. Mileage has climbed from 19,273 miles in June 2021 to 57,320 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 7,165 miles per year, which is typical for an eight‑year‑old commercial van. The increase from 33,490 miles in June 2023 to 42,825 miles in May 2024 represents a 9,335‑mile jump in one year, but the subsequent yearly gains have been moderate, indicating consistent use without long periods of standing. No major mileage gaps are evident in the six‑year span. A buyer should therefore inspect tyre tread depth and condition, since repeated inner‑edge wear on the front tyres points to possible suspension bush wear or mis‑alignment. The suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers merit close examination for signs of fatigue or corrosion. Brake discs, pads and calipers should be checked for binding or uneven wear, and the chassis, wheel arches and underbody should be inspected for structural rust that could compromise integrity. Finally, the exhaust system and any evidence of corrosion affecting structural components should be assessed to complete the due‑diligence review.
