2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · OF10 RAL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on March 5 2026 at 73,562 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the previous owner has maintained the vehicle to a high standard. This clean result mirrors the previous four years of testing, where the vehicle passed without any recorded defects or advisories since 2022. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 42,585 miles and the March 2026 test at 73,562 miles, the vehicle covered 30,977 miles, representing a steady usage pattern. The intervals between tests are regular, with no significant gaps in records that suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. This consistent rate of use generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components often associated with long periods of standing. Since the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items typical for a Transit Connect of this age. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are the first components to show fatigue on light commercial vans. Given the mileage, the brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or thinning, and the underbody should be checked for any signs of corrosion on the exhaust or structural mounting points despite the clean digital record.
