2018 Ford Transit 350 2.0L Diesel · CP18 FYY

This 2018 Ford Transit 350 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across three consecutive tests, most recently passing on 17 January 2025 at 69,637 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if unspectacular, maintenance—though the 18-month gap since the last test (as of July 2026) means critical components like brakes, suspension, and exhaust systems are now due for professional inspection. The lack of recurring issues implies no obvious pattern of neglect, but the extended period since the last MOT introduces uncertainty over wear items such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, which may have degraded beyond their original service intervals. The recorded mileage of 69,637 miles over eight years equates to approximately 8,700 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical commercial or light-duty usage for this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged stagnation periods in the data, though the sparse MOT history—spaced roughly 14–16 months apart—does not provide granular insight into intermediate maintenance. The most recent test at 69,637 miles aligns closely with the current odometer reading, indicating the vehicle has not been driven significantly since the last inspection, which could either reflect recent storage or a delay in scheduling the next MOT. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to verifying the condition of high-wear items that exceed standard service intervals. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished rubber, as these are prone to deterioration over 8,700 miles annually without regular servicing. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, especially around joints and mounts, while the tyres warrant scrutiny for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as commercial vans are often exposed to harsh environments.
