2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV68 DPZ

The 2018 Ford Transit’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-22 at 88,687 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the prior test on 2025-10-21 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded remedial work. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. However, the repeated failures without documented repairs raise concerns about the vehicle’s reliability and the thoroughness of previous inspections. The vehicle’s mileage of 88,687 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,086 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The 2023 test at 47,889 miles and 2024 test at 72,709 miles show steady progression, with no gaps suggesting prolonged inactivity. The lack of recurring defects in these tests implies consistent upkeep, though the 2025 failures without recorded issues limit confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical state. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with high mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, which could explain the failed tests. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, should also be checked, as it can develop unnoticed over time. The absence of recorded defects in earlier tests does not eliminate these risks, given the 2025 failures’ unresolved nature.
