2018 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · MD68 AEN

The 2018 Ford Transit Connect shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-23 at 84,104 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the MOT history reveals inconsistencies, including duplicate entries for 2023-02-08 and 2021-12-22, where both pass and fail results were recorded without defects. This suggests potential administrative errors or rapid remediation of minor issues. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle has met safety standards, but the lack of detailed fault reporting limits insight into its mechanical condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 10,513 miles annually. A notable jump from 47,158 miles (2021-12-22) to 71,731 miles (2023-02-08) reflects a two-year period of 24,573 miles, which may indicate heavier use or infrequent MOT testing. The subsequent 12,373-mile increase to 84,104 miles by 2025-06-23 suggests a slower accumulation, possibly due to reduced activity. The sparse defect data in all tests implies minimal structural or mechanical degradation, though the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of wear-prone components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate fault codes. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop gradually. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels, particularly in high-moisture areas, should also be assessed, as these issues may not trigger MOT failures but can affect long-term reliability. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests basic upkeep, but deeper inspection is needed to confirm its mechanical integrity.
