FORD TRANSIT2018 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT pass on 16 April 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the vehicle has passed five consecutive tests without a single recorded defect or advisory. This lack of flagged issues suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very consistent replacement cycle for wear items. The mileage data presents a significant anomaly that requires scrutiny. The vehicle recorded 115,577 miles on 16 April 2021 and climbed to 216,173 miles by 24 April 2024, representing an average of over 33,000 miles per year during that period. However, the most recent entry on 16 April 2025 shows a mileage of 136,298 miles. This represents a decrease of nearly 80,000 miles in one year, which is physically impossible. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error by the MOT tester or a potential issue with the odometer. A buyer must verify the actual mileage and the integrity of the odometer before purchase. Given the high usage implied by the 2024 record, the vehicle likely has significant wear on the drivetrain and suspension. You should specifically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear consistent with 200,000 plus miles rather than the 136,298 miles currently listed. Check the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as high-mileage Transits often suffer from structural rust in the sills and load area. While the MOT history is clean, the contradictory mileage readings make a full physical inspection of the mechanical components essential to determine the true state of the vehicle.
