2018 Ford Transit Connect 200 Limited A 1.5L Diesel · LXZ 7817

This vehicle presents as exceptionally well-maintained, with a clean MOT record that reflects consistent mechanical reliability. The most recent test, conducted on 15 April 2026 at 59,242 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, and this outcome is part of an unbroken pattern of clean passes stretching back through 2025, 2024, and 2023. The maintenance trend is stable and positive, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in sound working order with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by any tester across multiple annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is measured and consistent with typical commercial van usage. Between the April 2023 pass at 42,553 miles and the April 2025 test at 54,329 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 11,776 miles over two years, averaging approximately 5,888 miles annually. The most recent year, from April 2025 to April 2026, saw an increase of 4,913 miles, which remains well within normal operational parameters for a light commercial vehicle of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest long periods of disuse or tampering. The single failed test on 21 April 2023 at 42,553 miles shows no recorded defects, which is an unusual result that may indicate an administrative error, an abandoned test, or a failure category not captured in the defect summary. Regardless, the vehicle passed cleanly just seven days later on 28 April 2023 at the same mileage, so no lasting mechanical concern appears to have persisted from that event. A prospective buyer should still conduct a physical inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress-test. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear, particularly if the vehicle has carried heavy loads. Inspect the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and examine the chassis and load floor for any signs of corrosion or structural damage that may not manifest under standard test conditions. The tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as consumable wear between annual tests can vary significantly depending on usage intensity.
