2018 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · SL68 AAN

The 2018 Ford Tourneo Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 23,135 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 23 August 2024 test at 21,914 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across its history, and the absence of advisories in any test suggests no minor wear items were flagged for near-term attention. Mileage stands at 23,135 miles against an eight-year age, averaging roughly 2,892 miles per year, which is low for a commercial-derived people carrier. The records show gentle accumulation: 20,564 miles at the August 2023 failure, 20,570 miles days later at the pass, 21,913 to 21,914 miles across the August 2024 fail-and-pass pair, then 23,135 by September 2025. Such low, steady use with no large gaps implies light duty, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, seals, and brake components without high-mileage wear. The two failed tests on 29 August 2023 at 20,564 miles and 19 August 2024 at 21,913 miles recorded no defects, pointing to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still verify the vehicle physically, given the sparse history offers no insight into suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc condition, or underside corrosion. Low mileage vans left unused often develop surface rust on structural members and flat-spotted tyres from static loading. Given the clean advisories and passes since the 2024 retest, the Tourneo Connect reflects a lightly used example with no documented mechanical neglect. Inspect brake calipers for binding after standing, check exhaust emissions against cold-start running, and confirm tyre sidewall condition before purchase. The record implies a cautious owner, but in-person checks remain essential on a low-mileage eight-year-old vehicle.
