2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BD18 AFE

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 March 2026 at 98,128 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a four-year trend of perfect results back to 2022, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern indicates consistent high-mileage use, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between May 2022 at 64,497 miles and March 2026 at 98,128 miles, the vehicle covered 33,631 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the van was used regularly rather than left stationary, which often prevents the premature failure of seals and corrosion of braking components. The lack of any advisories across these high-mileage intervals implies the previous owners addressed wear and tear before it reached a MOT failure threshold. While the MOT record is flawless, the high mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of components subject to heavy load stress on a Ford Transit Connect. A buyer should specifically examine the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop arms for signs of play or tearing, as these often degrade near the 100,000-mile mark. The brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, and the exhaust system should be inspected for surface corrosion that may not yet reach a structural failure point during a standard visual test.
