2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · GF18 OFW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 82,050 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a clean sheet of passes dating back to 2022. This consistency suggests the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed potential issues before they could escalate into MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally consistent for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between May 2022 at 47,335 miles and January 2026 at 82,050 miles, the vehicle covered over 34,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable use rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy commercial strain. The gaps between mileage are regular, with intervals of roughly 7,000 to 14,000 miles between tests, supporting a uniform wear pattern on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the digital record shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical binding issues, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for a Ford Transit Connect of this age. Given the mileage, the buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often show wear before they trigger an MOT failure. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning of the pads is also advisable, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these components, only their immediate functionality.
