Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the vehicle'
When inspecting this Transit Connect, focus on the service history to determine if the low mileage has been balanced by regular oil and filter changes, as diesel engines of this era require consistent maintenance. Check for any signs of chassis corrosion, which is common for commercial vehicles of this vintage in the UK.
As a 1.8L diesel from 2008, this vehicle will likely fall into a higher road tax bracket compared to modern equivalents. Insurance costs are generally moderate for the Connect range, though this varies by driver profile. Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age are typically higher due to the increased likelihood of wear-and-tear components requiring replacement.
Pay close attention to the areas identified in the model's aggregate failure data: check the operation of the headlamps, the condition of the windscreen wipers, and the tread depth and age of the tyres. Given the two MOT failures recorded in 2022 and 2023, verify that the faults corrected at that time have not recurred.
This 2008 white Ford Transit Connect diesel has a recorded mileage of 84,359 miles as of October 2023. The MOT history shows five tests recorded since 2021, including two failures in 2022 and 2023 that were both rectified and passed within 24 hours. While the mileage is low for its age, the vehicle is now over 18 years old.
The Ford Transit Connect has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2% across a sample of 205,162 vehicles.
