2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CT68 EUV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to minor electrical faults and consumable repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 56,903 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a defective offside side repeater and a cracked nearside stop lamp. While the vehicle is currently legal, the recurring nature of lighting-related failures suggests that the owner only addresses defects when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative checks. At 56,903 miles over eight years, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 7,113 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent and typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows steady progression between tests, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 9,800 miles covered prior to the 2025 inspection. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is not prone to long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and brake components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres and alignment, as the record shows a persistent pattern of uneven wear and low pressure. Between 2023 and 2024, the tester flagged multiple tyres as being close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, which often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The presence of nails in the tyres across two different years further highlights a lack of attention to basic maintenance. Specific attention must also be paid to the lighting assemblies and reflectors, given the repeated failures for defective side repeaters and stop lamps. While these are minor mechanical issues, the frequency indicates a general lack of oversight regarding the vehicle's exterior condition. Given the age and nature of the Transit, a manual inspection of the chassis for structural integrity and corrosion is essential to ensure that no hidden rust is beginning to develop that has not yet manifested in MOT advisories.
