2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · EA68 ABK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-11-14 at 123,059 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, prior tests in 2024 and 2023 show conflicting outcomes, with both passes and failures recorded on the same dates and mileages. The absence of defect details in these tests limits clarity, but the latest pass suggests no immediate mechanical concerns. The pattern of inconsistent results raises questions about the reliability of the MOT records, though the most recent assessment provides a positive baseline. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,059 miles over eight years equates to an average of 15,382 miles annually, which is high for its age. A significant jump from 95,796 miles in 2023 to 108,353 miles in 2024, followed by 123,059 miles in 2025, suggests rapid usage that could accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The sparse data between 2023 and 2025, combined with the lack of detailed defect reports, makes it difficult to assess long-term maintenance trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage and potential for fatigue. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the likelihood of increased wear. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or corrosion, as high mileage often exacerbates such issues. While no structural rust or major defects are noted in the records, the inconsistent MOT outcomes imply that minor problems may have been overlooked, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
