2018 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · BN18 ACJ

The 2018 Ford Tourneo Connect presents as roadworthy following the March 2026 test cycle. The tester passed the vehicle on 16 March 2026 at 99,478 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every annual examination returning a clean result apart from a failed entry three days prior to the final pass. That 13 March 2026 failure at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits high for an eight-year-old van. The record shows 62,164 miles at the March 2023 test, rising to 77,403 by March 2024, then 88,054 in February 2025, and 99,478 by March 2026. That averages roughly 12,400 miles per year and reflects steady annual use rather than standing periods or sudden accumulation. The gap between the February 2025 and March 2026 entries is the longest interval in the file, yet the climb remains linear. No advisories appear at any stage, so the previous owner clearly kept the Tourneo to a pass-standard regime without deferred consumable items reaching the advisory threshold. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage. The absence of advisories does not mean these components are unworn; testers only log visible defects at the time of test. The March 2026 fail-with-no-defects anomaly warrants a check of the DVSA certificate and test station notes to confirm no suppressed fault exists. Given the clean MOT lineage and high but consistent use, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring caution beyond normal wear for the distance covered. Verify service history matches the 11,000-mile annual increments and inspect underneath for corrosion the MOT did not flag.
