2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · BD18 LGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive servicing rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2025 at 64,326 miles shows a pass only after a failure two days prior. While the exhaust emissions issue was resolved, the presence of multiple high-priority advisories regarding brake components, pipe corrosion, and tyre condition indicates that the previous owner likely only addressed mechanical faults once they reached the threshold of an MOT failure. At 64,326 miles over eight years, the Ford Transit averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with light commercial or domestic use. However, there is a significant data gap between the May 2023 test at 57,459 miles and the February 2025 test at 64,326 miles, during which the vehicle covered less 7,000 miles in nearly two years. This lower usage often explains the degradation of rubber components, such as the perishing tyres noted in the February 2025 record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system, as the record consistently flags thin pads and scored discs across 2021, 2022, and 2025. The noted corrosion on the offside front brake pipe is a specific concern that suggests exposure to road salts or ingress of grease which can hide structural thinning. Furthermore, the cracking and perishing on three tyres indicate they are reaching the end of their life despite low mileage, necessitating immediate replacement. The damaged offside mirror and its repeater are also recurring minor defects that suggest a general lack of attention to cosmetic and secondary trim upkeep.
