2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CV18 KSF

The 2018 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 99,342 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT results across the prior four years. The mileage sits high for an eight-year-old van at 99,342 miles, averaging roughly 12,418 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation rather than abrupt jumps: 88,369 miles in December 2021, 90,974 in November 2022, 93,233 in December 2023, 95,965 in November 2024, and 99,342 in November 2025. Annual increments of two to four thousand miles indicate consistent commercial use with no standing periods or gaps in testing. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, listing zero advisories or failures throughout the vehicle's history. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and light commercial loading cycles typical of Transit Connect vans. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but MOT passes with no defects do not confirm the condition of components not yet at failure threshold. Pre-purchase checks should target drivetrain wear, clutch operation, and exhaust emissions under load, since the clean test history offers no insight into consumable life remaining. The previous owner clearly kept the van to test-standard annually, yet high mileage means tyres, wiper blades, and service items will need verification against actual dated receipts.
