2018 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · OU18 BXH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the clean pass during the most recent inspection in April 2026 at 33,247 miles. This result follows a consistent history of passes over the previous three years. While the vehicle suffered a failure in July 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass on the same day suggest the owner is proactive in addressing faults rather than allowing them to persist into mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,156 miles per annum. There is a significant spike in usage recorded between July 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles in a single year, followed by a more relaxed pace of about 8,200 miles between 2024 and 2026. This low overall mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to secondary issues. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage storage. This includes checking for flat spots on the tyres, seized brake calipers due to lack of use, and perished rubber suspension bushes or wiper blades. The tester should also verify the structural integrity for early-stage corrosion, as low-use vehicles often sit in damp environments where the heat generated by regular driving would otherwise keep the undercarriage dry.
