Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a review of the service records from mid-2024. The vehicle suffered a major MOT failure involving 'seriously weakened' brake discs and 'efficiency below requirements', so you should verify that a full system overhaul was performed rather than a minimal repair to pass the test. Ensure there is evidence of regular oil and filter changes for the 1995cc diesel engine.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance cycle. Given the history of brake wear and the model's susceptibility to corrosion, a professional pre-purchase inspection focusing on the chassis and braking components is strongly recommended before completing the purchase.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Transit will have moderate fuel costs depending on load and usage. It falls into a standard commercial vehicle tax bracket and a mid-range insurance group for vans of this size.
Typical maintenance costs for this model include frequent tyre replacements and brake servicing. Based on the engine size and vehicle type, the estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,400-£1,800, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the braking system. The 2024 MOT records indicate significant issues, including imbalanced front brakes and discs that were 'seriously weakened'. Check for any current pulsations during braking or uneven wear on the pads.
Examine the exterior lighting, specifically the nearside rear position lamp, which was recorded as 'smashed' in July 2026, to ensure the replacement is secure and weather-sealed. Finally, check the bodywork for corrosion, which is listed as a top failure reason for this model across the wider fleet data.
This 2018 white Ford Transit diesel has covered 76,113 miles. The MOT history is mixed, featuring a clean pass in 2025 and a recent 2026 pass following minor lighting repairs, but it is marred by a severe braking failure in 2024. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model average, reflecting its use as a working vehicle.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 74.3%, with common failure points being headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
