2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · AP18 PXV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate from the November 2025 test, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the history shows two separate instances of failed tests occurring one day prior to successful passes, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor issues rectified immediately by the owner. The consistent clean passes over the last three years point to a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard, with no recurring mechanical advisories noted by testers. This Ford Transit has accumulated 181,338 miles over its eight-year lifespan, averaging approximately 22,667 miles per annum. This high-intensity usage pattern is typical for a commercial vehicle of this class, suggesting the engine and drivetrain have seen significant motorway or heavy-duty operation. The steady accumulation of mileage without long periods of inactivity implies the vehicle has remained in constant service, which often results in more predictable wear on mechanical components compared to vehicles that sit idle for extended durations. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that are not always captured in the MOT summary. Given the high mileage, examine the clutch operation and dual-mass flywheel for signs of chatter, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Transits. Inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for fatigue, as these parts endure substantial stress under heavy loads. Check the underside for signs of corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and sills, and verify that the brake discs and pads have sufficient material remaining, as these consumables will have been replaced multiple times throughout the vehicle's working life.
