2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV18 XAL

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent DVSA test on 30 April 2025 at 191,908 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with every annual examination from April 2022 through to April 2025 resulting in a pass and no advisories logged. One anomaly appears on 30 April 2025, where a failure was recorded at identical mileage with no defects cited before the same-day pass; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded odometer figures show consistent high use for a van of this age. The test on 7 April 2022 captured 113,647 miles, rising to 145,297 by 24 April 2023, then 171,663 on 26 April 2024, and 191,908 on 30 April 2025. That equates to an average annual accumulation near 24,000 miles, well above typical light-commercial norms and confirming the vehicle has served as a hard-working runner rather than a standing asset. No gaps exist between yearly tests, and the clean defect sheet at each stage implies the previous operators kept statutory roadworthiness in order even if deeper wear from distance remains unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and trailing-arm mounts given the eight-year, 191,908-mile loading cycle. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for heat fatigue and binding, while the drivetrain should be checked for gearbox and clutch wear consistent with constant motorway or urban delivery duty. Structural integrity underneath the chassis and wheelarches needs visual confirmation for corrosion, as the MOT record notes no advisories but does not certify long-term rust absence. Tyres and wiper blades are consumable items expected to need renewal on a vehicle at this mileage, and the absence of recorded faults suggests basic upkeep was not skipped despite the heavy schedule.
