2018 Ford Transit 350 2.0L Diesel · CF02 ALS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 5 August 2025 at 104,482 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a clean result from August 2024, suggesting a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep over the last twelve months. The mileage accumulation reflects a high-use commercial pattern, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2024 test at 97,962 miles and the August 2025 test, the vehicle covered 6,520 miles. This regular usage suggests the van has been used for active work rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally prevents corrosion but puts predictable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mile vehicles. Despite the clean MOT records, a physical inspection must focus on heavy-duty components susceptible to high-mileage Transit operation. A buyer should specifically examine the front suspension assembly for signs of wear in the bushes and coil springs, which often degrade under heavy loads. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs and calipers for excessive thinning or uneven wear is essential, as the MOT only identifies immediate failures rather than gradual wear.
