2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CV68 DMZ

The 2018 Ford Transit Connect presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 77,620 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT testing regime. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,700 miles, typical for an eight-year-old light commercial vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 43,495 miles in May 2022, 51,015 by April 2023, 58,255 in February 2024, 64,149 by November 2024, and 77,620 at the final test. The step from 64,149 to 77,620 over twelve months reflects slightly above-average use but no abnormal spike. A gap exists between the February 2024 and November 2024 tests, suggesting the owner shifted the test window rather than neglected the vehicle. The sparse, clean record gives little basis for concern over skipped upkeep. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not measure in depth. Examine brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or worn components escape detection without advisories. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue not yet at failure point. Check underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for early corrosion, particularly around sills and mountings. The documented history implies a conscientious keeper who maintained the van to pass standard each time. No recurring faults point to unresolved weaknesses in drivetrain or chassis. A pre-purchase check remains sensible but the MOT data alone shows no red flags for a used-car buyer.
