2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · BG18 ABX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 May 2025 at 115,832 miles. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted during this test. While the vehicle failed tests on 8 May 2025 and 10 May 2022, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely due to administrative issues or minor faults rectified immediately. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging nearly 14,500 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between May 2023 and May 2025, where the odometer rose from 88,836 to 115,832 miles. This rapid accumulation of nearly 27,000 miles in two years indicates heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of common Transit wear points. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the DVSA records do not provide a full structural health report. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for fatigue given the heavy usage pattern. Priority should also be given to inspecting the brake discs and pads for thinning, as well as checking the service history for timing belt or chain replacements. While the MOT tester flagged no issues, the high mileage suggests that major consumables may be nearing the end of their operational life.
