2008 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · MF08 UWM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 July 2025 with 116,401 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently achieved clean passes over the last two years. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent passing tests suggests that any minor non-conformities were rectified quickly by the owner prior to re-testing. At 18 years old, the recorded 116,401 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,467 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation shows consistent intervals, with 2,569 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 2,080 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly regularly, which often helps prevent the degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as older Transit Connects are prone to corrosion in specific areas. Despite the clean MOT advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber. Given the low mileage, checking the condition of brake lines and the presence of seized calipers is also essential to ensure that age-related decay has not occurred despite the low mechanical wear.
