2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · BG18 AEE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 April 2026 at 97,324 miles with no defects recorded. This clean pass, following a consistent history of fault-free inspections since 2023, indicates a stable and well-maintained condition. The brief failure on 22 April 2025 appears to be a procedural or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as the vehicle passed the same test immediately afterward without any recorded defects. The current mileage of 97,324 miles over an eight-year lifespan averages approximately 12,166 miles per annum, which is expected for a commercial vehicle of this type. The progression of mileage is steady and linear, showing no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic usage patterns. The consistent annual testing intervals suggest the owner has adhered to a regular maintenance schedule, which often correlates with better preservation of the drivetrain and chassis compared to vehicles with irregular service histories. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical of a Transit with this mileage, specifically checking for play in suspension bushes, ball joints, and the condition of the leaf springs. While the MOT record is clean, it does not account for the current state of consumables such as brake pads, discs, or tyre tread depth. A thorough examination of the underside for any signs of surface corrosion or oil leaks around the engine and gearbox remains advisable, as these areas are not always fully captured during a standard MOT assessment.
