2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · EA68 ABU

The 2018 Ford Transit demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-12 inspection at 56,145 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have been well-maintained, with no recurring faults or structural concerns flagged. This suggests the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, as the absence of advisories or failures aligns with a vehicle operating within typical wear parameters for its age and mileage. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with annual increases of approximately 7,000–8,000 miles, reflecting normal usage over eight years. The 2021-09-24 test at 25,347 miles to the 2025-09-12 test at 56,145 miles covers a total of 30,798 miles, averaging 7,699 miles annually. No gaps or irregularities in mileage are evident, and the consistent testing intervals suggest no periods of prolonged inactivity. This pattern supports the conclusion that the vehicle has been driven regularly, reducing risks associated with component degradation from standing. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may show wear over time despite no recorded issues. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older vans. Underbody corrosion, especially around the chassis and exhaust mounting points, warrants scrutiny, as it can develop unnoticed in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no red flags, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the absence of hidden damage or gradual deterioration not captured in the recorded tests.
