2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CT68 KCC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear after years of clean passes. The most recent test in January 2026 at 67,935 miles introduced new defects, specifically a severely deteriorated offside front inner drive shaft CV boot and a minor oil leak from the power steering pump. While the vehicle maintained a clean record between 2023 and 2025, these recent entries indicate that seals and rubber are beginning to fail due to age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 52,601 miles and January 2026 at 67,935 miles, the vehicle covered 15,334 miles, maintaining steady annual usage. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial strain or long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and internal seals seen in the latest advisories. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front drive area to ensure the deteriorated CV boot has not allowed grease to escape or grit to enter the joint, which would cause rapid bearing failure. The power steering pump leak requires monitoring to determine if it is a minor seep or a pressurized leak requiring immediate replacement. Given the previous history of worn anti-roll bar bushes and ball joints noted in early 2022, the entire front suspension geometry should be checked for play or perished bushings that may have developed since the last repairs.
