2008 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · SC08 SXZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent test on January 28, 2023, recorded no defects, indicating that the vehicle was in a passing condition at that time. This follows a period of consistent results since early 2022, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained without significant recurring mechanical or structural failures during the recent inspection cycles. Mileage data indicates a period of heavy usage followed by a more relaxed interval. Between May 2018 and April 2019, the vehicle covered 8,704 miles, which represents high annual usage for a commercial van. However, between April 2019 and January 2022, the mileage increased by 40,591 miles over three years, averaging roughly 13,500 miles per annum. There is no recorded mileage since the January 2023 test, meaning the vehicle is now over three years past its last recorded inspection, which leaves the current state of consumable components like tyres and brake pads unknown without a physical check. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as these models are prone to corrosion that may develop between tests. Given the high mileage recorded in the past, examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for signs of excessive wear or fluid leaks. Because the last MOT is now over three years old, a thorough check of the brake discs for corrosion and the exhaust system is essential to ensure the vehicle has not degraded since the 2023 certification.
