2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AF68 OKO

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 55,056 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since 2021. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or failures logged across the entire DVSA history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,882 miles, typical for an eight-year-old light commercial vehicle. The records show steady, low accumulation: 25,852 miles at the 1 September 2021 test, rising to 38,120 by 23 September 2022, 46,591 by 25 September 2023, 54,001 by 18 September 2024, and 55,056 by September 2025. The jump between 2023 and 2024 of about 7,410 miles is the largest in the sequence; the final year added only 1,055 miles, suggesting the van entered lighter use. No gaps exist between tests, and the clean sheets mean no consumable neglect or structural flags appeared. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection despite the spotless record. The absence of advisories does not rule out early wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs that a tester may not have flagged under current limits. Given the Transit's age, check subframe and chassis legs for corrosion, and confirm the rear brake calipers are free and not binding after standing. Verify the service history independently. The MOT alone shows no mechanical faults, but eight years of use at low annual mileage can hide degraded tyres, perished wiper blades, or intermittent drivetrain issues. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible.
