2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LM18 AEK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2026 at 79,918 miles with no recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness. After an early failure in March 2021, the maintenance trend has been improving; only minor advisories have appeared since, and the latest test shows a clean record. From 27,317 miles in March 2021 to 79,918 miles in June 2026 the mileage has risen by roughly 52,600 miles over 5.25 years, averaging about 10,000 miles per year – a rate typical for an eight‑year‑old van. The record contains a notable lapse between the failed test on 19 March 2021 and the next pass on 24 March 2022, indicating a period without certification, while subsequent annual tests have been kept up to date. A buyer should inspect the brakes for pad thickness and even wear, given the thin‑pad advisory in April 2023. The May 2025 test flagged nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit, so tread depth and edge wear must be checked. The windscreen damage noted in March 2022 and the non‑functioning washer in March 2021 require a visual check of the glass and cleaning system. Finally, the vehicle’s age warrants a thorough look for corrosion, suspension bush condition, and exhaust health.
