2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CU18 LKJ

The 2018 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 101,027 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Across the full history from 21 February 2022 through to the latest examination, the vehicle incurred no advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical condition over its four most recent annual tests. Mileage accumulation reflects above-average use for an eight-year-old van. The record shows 44,767 miles at the 2022 test, rising to 56,808 by 13 February 2023, 68,155 on 17 January 2024, 83,387 on 11 February 2025, and 101,027 by December 2025. This equates to roughly 12,600 miles per year, with a marked 17,640-mile jump between February and December 2025 suggesting heavier commercial duty in that period. No standing gaps or missed test windows appear in the data; the clean sheet across all entries implies previous operators kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and recent surge in use. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural advisories is favourable, yet MOT tests do not strip components. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for early rust, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition as consumable wear items unseen in the pass records. Given the fault-free history, no recurring mechanical trend requires corrective action. The vehicle's roadworthiness rests on continued annual testing, and the buyer should confirm service intervals were observed alongside the MOT passes to validate drivetrain longevity at 101,027 miles.
