2018 Ford Transit 350 2.0L Diesel · CU68 YWN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 4 June 2026 at 197,894 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent following a single failure in May 2024. The clean sheet of results across the last three consecutive annual tests suggests that the mechanical and safety-critical components are being maintained to a functional standard despite the heavy-duty environment associated with this mileage. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 24,700 miles per year. Data shows a significant surge in usage between February 2023 and May 2024, where the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in just 15 months. The rate of use remained high with 26,237 miles recorded between the May 2025 and June 2026 tests. This pattern indicates consistent long-distance commercial use, which typically puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension compared to urban cycles. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and chassis integrity, as high-mileage Trans often suffer from premature wear of coil springs, wisharm bushes, and dampers. Given the high mileage, the braking system requires a thorough look for signs of caliper binding or significant thinning of discs. While the MOT record is currently clean, the sheer volume of travel necessitates a professional check for oil leaks around the engine and exhaust corrosion to ensure the vehicle is not nearing a terminal stage of major component fatigue.
