2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CV18 XGX

A consistent history of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a record showing six consecutive MOT tests and only a single advisory across the entire period. This trend of stability is reinforced by the most recent pass on 27 May 2026, which was recorded without any defects or advisories. The recorded mileage of 52,669 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,584 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This usage profile suggests a moderate level of wear on the primary drivetrain and suspension components, avoiding the extremes of high-mileage commercial fatigue or the potential degradation associated with prolonged periods of inactivity. Given the 2023 advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit, a physical inspection of all four tyres is necessary to ensure tread depths are currently uniform and within safe parameters. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any steering pull or uneven tyre wear, which could indicate an underlying alignment issue that may have contributed to the previous tyre wear. While the MOT history is devoid of structural corrosion or suspension failures, a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable to ensure no new wear has developed since the May 2026 inspection. The absence of recorded brake defects or emissions failures suggests a stable mechanical state, but the driver should still feel for any pedal judder or inconsistencies in braking force during the road test.
