Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this Transit, prioritise a detailed inspection of the braking system. The most recent MOT in January 2026 noted thin brake pads on both front and rear axles, as well as corrosion on both front brake pipes. You should ask for evidence of when these components were last replaced or repaired.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the frequency of maintenance-related MOT advisories. Check the service history specifically for brake fluid changes and suspension component replacements, as the 2025 MOT highlighted worn suspension arm bushes and a splitting rear bush. Given the commercial nature of this model, ensure the load capacity and suspension integrity have been maintained.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be dictated by payload and driving style. Fuel economy for a Transit of this era typically varies depending on load, but you should budget for diesel costs consistent with a high-mileage commercial vehicle.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2018 Transit are standard for the class, but insurance may be higher if used for business purposes. Maintenance costs are likely to be frequent due to the observed wear patterns in the MOT history, particularly regarding tyres, brakes, and suspension components.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of worn brake pads (2023 and 2026) and pitted/scored discs (2023). Crucially, inspect the brake pipes; the 2023 and 2026 records both mention corrosion on brake pipes, which is a significant safety item.
Check the suspension and steering components. The 2025 MOT recorded a worn offside front suspension arm bush and a splitting rear bush. Additionally, inspect the tyres; the 2023 record showed a tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that tyre maintenance may not have been a consistent priority. Finally, check for any signs of recent work on the side repeaters or mirrors, following the 2023 and 2024 advisories.
This 2018 Ford Transit, powered by a 1995cc diesel engine, has covered 120,312 miles as of January 2026. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wear, specifically regarding brake pads, discs, and brake pipes. With mileage significantly higher than the model average of 8,962 per year, this vehicle has likely been used for heavy commercial work.
Aggregate data from over 733,000 vehicles shows a 74.4% average MOT pass rate for this model, with headlamps, corrosion, and tyres being common failure points.
