2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CV18 YRZ

The most recent MOT test passed on 19 April 2022 at 83,983 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle with a clean roadworthiness status at that point. The maintenance trend shown in the record is stable, as the only blemish is a failure six days earlier on 13 April 2022 at the identical mileage, where the tester logged no defects and the vehicle subsequently passed without rectification. The recorded mileage stands at 83,983 miles against an eight-year-old 2018 Ford Transit Connect, equating to roughly 10,500 miles per year which is typical for this age of light commercial vehicle. The history shows no gradual accumulation across tests; both 2022 entries share the same reading, and there is a four-year void between that April 2022 pass and today's date of 8 July 2026, meaning the current odometer state is unverified by any official test for an extended period. A buyer should physically verify the vehicle's true mileage and confirm it has not been laid up unused for long stretches, since standing vans develop perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs. The April 2022 failure with no listed defects suggests an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a hard mechanical fault, but the absence of any test since means suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity under the chassis must be inspected for corrosion or wear that four years of untested use could conceal. Given the sparse record, prioritise a thorough independent inspection of the braking system, coil springs, and underbody for rust before purchase, as the last verified clean test is now well out of date relative to current road standards.
