2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YT68 AAU

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following the most recent test in September 2025 at 76,743 miles, the MOT passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed by the owner, leaving the vehicle in a clean state during its most recent inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. There is a notable jump in usage between September 2022 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered over 1,600 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has remained steady with roughly 16,000 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2025 tests. This regularity suggests consistent operation which is generally beneficial for preventing component degradation from long periods of standing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system, as the 2022 test at 58,959 miles flagged multiple failures including worn inner arm bushes, thin brake pads, and worn rear inner wishbones. While the subsequent tests show these issues were rectified, a manual check of the rubber bushings for perish cracking remains necessary to ensure no new play has developed. Verifying the state of the front brake discs for pitting or scoring is also advised as the record noted surface wear three years ago.
