2018 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · HF68 PLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to reactive maintenance. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 28,972 miles passed, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads. This follows a 2025 test with advisories for worn front tyres and poor wipers, suggesting that the vehicle is now beginning to require routine consumable attention after a period of cleanliness. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, moving from 10,644 miles in July 2022 to 28,972 miles by early 2026. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and suspension components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based parts like bushings and seals seizing or cracking due to standing for long periods between journeys. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the thin rear pads noted in 2026 indicate that the components are nearing their service interval. The 2025 advisory regarding front tyres worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or uneven pressure history that should be verified. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also check for corrosion on the underbody and brake discs, as vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from surface rust that high-mileage counterparts avoid.
