2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · JP05 FFF

The vehicle demonstrates a remarkably stable and clean maintenance profile, having secured four consecutive clean passes with zero recorded defects or advisories. The most recent MOT conducted on 19 November 2025 at 129,029 miles confirms that the vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing no signs of deteriorating mechanical health or neglected maintenance. This consistent performance over the last four years indicates that the vehicle has been subject to regular servicing and proactive care, which is an encouraging sign for a commercial vehicle of this age and usage profile. The recorded mileage of 129,029 miles over eight years averages approximately 16,129 miles per annum, confirming the vehicle has been utilized primarily for high-frequency commercial or motorway duties. The interval between the 2022 test at 81,178 miles and the 2023 test at 103,989 miles shows a period of particularly heavy usage, yet the vehicle maintained a clean bill of health throughout this intensive period. The absence of any advisories across all four tests suggests that consumable components such as tyres and brake pads have been replaced in a timely manner rather than being pushed to the point of failure. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas typical of a high-mileage Ford Transit Connect, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, which often show fatigue at this stage. While the MOT records are pristine, they do not account for the current state of the clutch, flywheel, or turbocharger, all of which are subject to significant stress during heavy commercial use. Inspect the underside for any signs of recent underseal application that might mask surface corrosion and verify the service history documentation to ensure that the engine oil and filters have been changed at intervals consistent with the high annual mileage recorded.
