About the Ford Transit Connect

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Ford Transit Connect and the free decoder, which needs no registration, reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture from it. Our data for this model covers model years 2013 to 2024, all in the Van body style, with power from 75 to 178 hp. It lists 14 versions, among them Panel Van, Kombi, Double Cab and FlexCab, with L1 and L2 labels in the names.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a van you are looking at, check that the VIN on the vehicle matches the one in the registration papers and that the decoded model year fits the year the seller states.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Ford Transit Connect built?

Our data lists model years 2013 - 2024 across 14 versions of the Ford Transit Connect. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

Which VIN character shows the model year of a Ford Transit Connect?

It is the 10th character. For the Ford Transit Connect the characters to expect are D (2013), E (2014), F (2015), G (2016), H (2017), J (2018), K (2019), L (2020), M (2021), N (2022), P (2023), R (2024).

How many versions of the Ford Transit Connect are in your data?

14 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 178 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which version of the Ford Transit Connect a van is?

The decoder gives you the model year, which should fall between 2013 and 2024 for the versions in our data. The body type and the L1 or L2 label then have to be checked against the registration documents, because the decoder reads only the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

The full 17 characters must be identical on the plate, on the vehicle and in the papers. Letters I, O and Q never appear in a VIN, so one of those points to a misread or a mistake. The tenth character is the model year and the eleventh the plant, so both should make sense next to the stated year of the van.

What will the decoder not tell me?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, since none of that is stored in a VIN. It also does not report the version or the engine power of the van.
