2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YL18 DSU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance record, concluding with a clean pass on 10 December 2025 at 81,721 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the most recent test suggests that the previous owner addressed necessary repairs promptly. This trend indicates a well-maintained commercial vehicle, as the history shows a consistent pattern of passing inspections without significant mechanical intervention required by the tester. Total mileage sits at 81,721 over eight years, averaging roughly 10,200 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a Ford Transit Connect. The record shows a notable spike in usage between June 2021 and January 2023, where the vehicle covered approximately 22,700 miles in 19 months. Conversely, the period between July 2022 and January 2023 saw minimal movement, with only 44 miles recorded. Such fluctuations are common in fleet or trade vehicles, though the current status suggests the engine and drivetrain have remained reliable despite these varied duty cycles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and tyre wear patterns. The MOT history flagged tyre wear on the inner edges in both 2021 and 2024, which often points to tracking misalignment or excessive loading habits common in light commercial vehicles. While the most recent test was clear, verify the condition of the rear leaf springs and bushes for signs of fatigue or heavy-load damage. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as the vehicle's history of tyre-related advisories suggests the suspension components may have been subjected to significant stress during its working life.
