2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YP68 TYO

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a highly stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 November 2025 at 68,954 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a series of clean passes since 2023, suggesting that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing potential issues before they became failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light use for a commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between the October 2023 and November 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 23,024 miles, which represents a steady usage rate. The record shows a single failure on 1 November 2022 at 37,219 miles, but the vehicle was clearly rectified immediately to pass on the same day. This indicates a specific mechanical fault was identified and resolved quickly rather than a pattern of neglect or long-term mechanical degradation. While the digital history is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear on the Transit Connect. Given the age of the vehicle, focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show signs of fatigue despite relatively low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or uneven wear, as the MOT record does not explicitly flag binding calipers. Additionally, inspect the chassis for structural corrosion around the mounting points to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last defect-free tests.
