2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · S33 LBS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 10 October 2025 at 51,081 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five annual inspections suggests the vehicle has been maintained to good standards and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent and reflects a low-intensity usage profile, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between the October 2021 test at 17,893 miles and the October 2024 test at 42,328 miles, the vehicle covered 24,435 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually. This low mileage for an eight-year Transit Connect typically indicates less strain on the drivetrain components, turbocharger, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage commercial examples. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories for brake corrosion or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on age-related perish rather than wear and tear. A buyer should check the condition of rubber components such as control arm bushes and engine mounts, which can crack and degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Given the infrequent use, also inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or rust that can occur if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between tests.
