2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AD12 OWN

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 30 January 2026 test at 36,439 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry on the same date with no defects recorded suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical concern, repeated identically on 23 January 2025 at 32,950 miles before a clean pass. Recorded mileage shows light use for an eight-year-old van. The odometer read 29,707 miles at the 9 February 2024 test, rose to 32,950 by January 2025, and reached 36,439 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 3,200 miles annually, well below typical commercial duty. The sparse three-year record with no gaps implies the vehicle stood for extended periods or covered short local journeys, though no rapid accumulation or missing intervals appear. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the previous owner maintained basic test compliance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake caliper operation, as low-mileage vehicles left standing often develop seized handbrake mechanisms or tyre sidewall cracking unseen by MOT testers. Verify the duplicated fail and pass entries with DVSA to confirm no omitted defect data. The clean sheet offers reassurance, but standing time on a Transit invites moisture-driven corrosion around chassis members that a pass with no defects does not rule out.
