The same build, other model years
Ford used the VIN pattern NM0LE6E7 for 5 model years. Nothing but the year changes between these pages, so the price gap between them is depreciation on an identical car.
How this VIN pattern is read
A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.
| Positions | Characters | What they encode |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | NM0 | FORD OTOMOTIV SANAYI A.S., TURKEY · World manufacturer identifier |
| 4–8 | LE6E7 | Model, body style, engine and restraint system |
| 9 | × | Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build |
| 10 | J | Model year — 2018 |
| 11 | × | Assembly plant |
| 12–17 | ×××××× | Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle |
NHTSA safety ratings
Crash-test results are published per model year and body style, so they cover the 2018 Ford Transit Connect as a whole rather than this build alone.
Frontal crash
★★★★ ★ 4 / 5
Side crash
★★★★★ 5 / 5
6 recall campaigns are recorded for the 2018 Transit Connect. Recalls are issued per VIN range — check the VIN of the car you are looking at, not the model.

Where this data comes from
Specification fields are decoded from the manufacturer's filings in the NHTSA vPIC database, keyed on VIN positions 1–8 and 10. We publish the filed values as they stand and leave out anything the filing does not record.
Vehicle counts come from the 50 VINs of this build we have seen in dealer inventory. They are a sample of the road population, not a production figure.
