2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · AF18 ADZ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of maintenance. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 110,495 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2022, suggesting the previous owner addressed mechanical wear before the official inspections. The mileage accumulation is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,812 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between March 2024 and March 2025, where the odometer rose from 75,047 to 89,849 miles. The most recent interval saw an even sharper climb of over 20,000 miles in a single year. Such rapid mileage growth typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the absence of recorded faults, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection. A buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the lack of advisories over five years suggests these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life. The suspension system, specifically the coil springs and shocks, requires scrutiny given the heavy usage patterns. Inspect the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion, which often develops on high-mileage work vehicles regardless of MOT outcomes. While the record shows no structural failures, the sheer volume of miles makes a manual check of the engine mounts and gearbox oil condition a prudent step to ensure long-term reliability.
