2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CT18 GPJ

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 4 May 2022 at 83,472 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 22 July 2021 at 69,805 miles also passed clean. The maintenance record shows no advisories or failures across both entries, indicating the vehicle was presented in sound condition at each examination. The mileage pattern sits at roughly typical use for an eight-year-old van. Between July 2021 and May 2022 the recorded distance rose by 13,667 miles over about nine months, equating to near the annual average of 10,434. The DVSA history is sparse with only two tests logged, and both are now over four years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, leaving the current mechanical state unverified since mid-2022. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase, given the lapse since the last recorded test. With no prior advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the earlier upkeep appears competent, yet standing time since 2022 risks perished rubber components, seized calipers, and underbody rust. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from prolonged storage and confirm the exhaust emissions still meet limits on a cold start. The clean history implies previous owners addressed faults promptly, but the absence of recent data means consumable wear and fluid degradation are now the primary unknowns.
