2018 FORD TRANSIT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of consistent mechanical maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 102,920 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all statutory safety requirements. This follows a clean pass in 2024, suggesting that the previous owner successfully addressed any developing issues before they escalated. The mileage reflects a high-use pattern consistent with a commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum over its eight-year life. Significant usage occurred between September 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered 24,599 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation of mileage places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. However, the consistency of annual testing without major failures or advisories in the recent years suggests the vehicle has been kept in regular service intervals rather than suffering from long periods of neglect. A physical inspection should focus on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. The 2022 test at 52,164 miles flagged thin front and rear brake pads, and while these were replaced, the buyer must verify the current thickness of the pads and check the discs for scoring or thinning. Given the high annual mileage, the buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of rubber perished or metal fatigue. The 2023 failure regarding headlamp aim was a minor adjustment issue, but it is worth checking the headlight mounts to ensure they are not loose due to vibration from heavy road use.
