2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BF68 KHM

This 2018 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 28 August 2025 at 64,908 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has been consistently tested annually around late August, and the most recent result confirms all critical systems, including brakes, steering, suspension, and emissions, met DVSA standards at the current recorded mileage. The absence of any advisories or failures in the last three consecutive tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a reliable standard in recent years. The mileage accumulation of approximately 8,114 miles per year is typical for a light commercial van of this age, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessive wear. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 35,364 miles in September 2022, 49,909 miles in August 2023, 59,801 miles in August 2024, and 64,908 miles in August 2025. No significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage are evident, which supports the conclusion of consistent, predictable usage without suspicious odometer anomalies. The only recorded defects occurred during the September 2022 test at 35,364 miles, where the tester flagged a non-functioning offside stop lamp, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and an offside windscreen wiper that failed to clear the screen effectively. These were minor electrical and consumable items, all of which were rectified before the same-day retest passed cleanly. No recurring mechanical or structural faults have appeared since, and the clean record across the subsequent three annual tests suggests these were promptly addressed rather than indicative of deeper neglect. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on the structural integrity of the load floor and sills, condition of suspension bushes and coil springs given the van's commercial duty, and the state of brake discs and pads at this mileage. Checking all exterior lamps, wiper blades, and the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks remains prudent, even though the MOT record shows no current concerns. The clean recent history is encouraging, but a physical inspection and test drive remain essential to verify the vehicle's day-to-day condition.
