Our Verdict

This is a sensible buy for a small van user, with a clean MOT record across five consecutive years. The 2018 Ford Transit Courier diesel has covered reasonable mileage for its age and shows no recorded defects.

With no MOT failures or advisories in the available history, your main negotiation leverage will be condition and service history rather than outstanding defects. Ask for proof of regular servicing, as a diesel van used for deliveries benefits greatly from timely oil and filter changes and fuel system care. Confirm the timing belt interval has been observed for the 1,499cc diesel unit, as neglect here is a known cost risk on vans of this type even when MOTs are clean.

As a 1.5-litre diesel van first registered in 2018, this Transit Courier should return strong fuel economy, typically 50-60 mpg in real-world light commercial use. Road tax for a diesel van of this size and age is based on payload and emissions, usually a flat-rate light goods vehicle charge rather than a passenger car band. Insurance will sit in a standard small van group, and routine maintenance such as brakes and tyres is generally affordable for the Ford range.

The MOT history shows no failures and no recorded defects across all five tests, so there are no specific failure types from the record to investigate. However, you should still check for general wear not captured at MOT such as clutch condition, suspension bush condition, and any signs of load area damage from commercial use. Verify the bodywork on this white example for scratches or corrosion around wheel arches, and confirm the diesel particulate filter has not been warning given the 75,859 to 76,174 mile gap between 2023 and 2024 suggests a low-use period that can affect DPF health.

The Ford Transit Courier registered YR18ADO is a white 1.5-litre diesel first registered in April 2018. Its MOT history shows five straight passes from 2021 to 2025 with no defects recorded at each test, the most recent being on 2025-11-18 at 83,599 miles. Mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, suggesting regular use rather than harsh commercial abuse. No aggregate model reliability data is available, but the individual history for this example is reassuring.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Transit Courier, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history which is currently clean.
