2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YH68 CNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern regarding brake component degradation. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 78,046 miles flagged both front and rear brake discs as being pitted or scored, this represents a return to a condition previously seen in September 2022. The clean records between 2023 and 2025 indicate that these issues were likely addressed or remained within tolerance during those intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 1,200 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and 1,445 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent usage suggests regular operational cycles rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals and preventing brake components from seizing. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension geometry. The recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the discs in 2022 and 2026 suggest that the vehicle may be exposed to corrosive environments or that the pads are being replaced without new discs. Furthermore, the 2022 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be re-checked to ensure uneven tyre wear does not recur.
