2008 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · LO08 XHW

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until August 2027, following a pass on 1 August 2026 at 115,538 miles. The test identified advisories regarding both rear tyres, which demonstrate wear close to the legal limit and uneven edge wear on both the offside and nearside. This single entry provides a limited snapshot of the vehicle's current roadworthiness, as no historical data is available to establish a long-term trend of mechanical deterioration or improvement. The recorded mileage of 115,538 miles over an 18-year lifespan averages approximately 6,419 miles per annum. This rate of accumulation remains consistent with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The absence of a multi-year MOT history prevents an assessment of whether the vehicle experienced prolonged periods of inactivity or high-intensity service cycles, meaning the current condition of drivetrain and suspension components remains unverified by previous inspection records. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear tyres to confirm if the reported edge wear indicates underlying suspension geometry issues or incorrect tracking. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough examination of the structural integrity is necessary, specifically focusing on the sills, wheel arches, and chassis rails for signs of corrosion. Inspecting the brake discs and pads is also advisable, as the recent test did not provide detailed data on consumable component health beyond the tyre tread depth.
