2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · EA68 ACO

This 2018 Ford Transit displays an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test conducted on 19 September 2025 at 81,129 miles resulted in a pass, following an initial administrative failure on the same day that yielded no recorded defects. The absence of any advisory notices across the last four years of testing suggests that the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance and addressed consumable wear before it reached a level requiring official documentation. The vehicle has covered 81,129 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 10,141 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light commercial operations and shows no evidence of prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage strain. The steady accumulation of miles between the 50,929 recorded in August 2022 and the current figure suggests the van has remained in regular service, which often prevents the mechanical issues associated with long-term storage, such as seized calipers or degraded rubber components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the high-wear areas common to the Transit platform, specifically the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and the condition of the brake discs. While the MOT record is clear, it does not account for recent wear occurring in the ten months since the last test. Check the structural integrity of the chassis rails and wheel arches for any surface corrosion that may have developed recently. Given the commercial nature of the vehicle, verify that the drivetrain operates smoothly under load and that there are no signs of heavy-duty abuse that might have bypassed the annual testing criteria.
