2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV68 EKP

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 99,591 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work to meet statutory standards. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,449 miles, high for an eight-year-old van but consistent with light commercial use. The records show steady accumulation: 51,228 miles at the 20 September 2021 test, rising to 71,670 by 6 September 2022, 79,520 on 22 August 2023, 89,990 on 17 October 2024, and 99,591 by December 2025. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests stretched to fourteen months, yet the mileage gain was modest at 10,470, suggesting no period of neglect or excessive strain. With no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring defects or worsening wear patterns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of load-bearing chassis members and subframe for hidden rust, given Transits of this era suffer sill and spring hanger rot unseen in a test bay. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, though these consumables would not surface in a fault-free record. The absence of flagged binding calipers or worn suspension through five consecutive passes implies previous owners kept the van to a basic compliant standard. High annual mileage means drivetrain and clutch wear fall outside MOT scope and warrant a road trial. The clean sheet offers reassurance, but the test history is no substitute for underside scrutiny before purchase.
