2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CP18 ACJ

This vehicle is in an exceptionally stable condition with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 20 April 2026 at 66,790 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting a high standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 8,349 miles per year. Usage has remained steady, though there was a notable increase in activity between January 2024 and April 2025, where the odometer rose from 43,368 to 60,398 miles. The lack of any recorded defects during this period of higher usage indicates the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load without significant degradation. The history shows a single failure on 9 January 2023 at 36,522 miles, which was resolved the following day. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for that failure or any subsequent tests, there are no chronic mechanical trends to worry about. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bushes over the last three years is unusual for a commercial vehicle and implies proactive maintenance. A physical inspection should still focus on common Transit weak points that do not always trigger MOT failures. Check for chassis corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, and verify the condition of the clutch and gearbox operation. Given the clean record, the priority is simply confirming that the service intervals match the lack of MOT defects to ensure the engine oil and filters have been changed regularly.
