2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV18 EFD

The 2018 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 107,569 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 5 July 2024 at 101,151 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisories or faults. The mileage record shows consistent annual use above the norm for an eight-year-old van. From the 12 July 2022 test at 88,487 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 6,882 miles to the 10 July 2023 examination at 95,369 miles, then 5,782 miles to 5 July 2024 at 101,151 miles, and a further 6,418 miles to the July 2025 pass at 107,569 miles. This equates to about 13,446 miles per year, reflecting steady commercial duty rather than sporadic running. The sole blemish is a failed test on 4 July 2024 at 101,133 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at 101,151 miles and no defects logged on either entry, which suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. Given the absence of recorded advisories across the five-year span, the MOT history alone shows no escalating wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside chassis members and subframes for hidden rust, verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades that consumables testing may not have flagged, and confirm the drivetrain shows no oil leakage or binding calipers under load. The clean record implies previous keepers maintained basic statutory compliance, though high annual mileage warrants scrutiny of clutch and turbo longevity not captured by MOT tests.
