2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV68 EUD

The most recent test on 16 June 2022 at 115,729 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same-day failure with no defects listed points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. On the evidence available, the maintenance trend appears stable, with the prior pass dated 28 September 2021 also clean at 106,708 miles. No advisories or worn components were flagged across either examination. The van shows 115,729 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 14,466 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 Transit and implies sustained commercial use. Between the September 2021 test and June 2022 the vehicle covered only 9,021 miles, a modest annualised rate, yet the record then stops. A four-year gap to today leaves 49,000 unrecorded miles of wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain seals that the MOT history cannot account for. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the 2022 test predates current DVSA rust-check standards and offers no assurance for 2026. The front coil springs, steering linkage, and exhaust emissions should be verified on a ramp, given the high mileage and standing period since the last certificate. Because the history is sparse and clean, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current but left long-term items unchecked. Treat the absence of advisories as a snapshot from 2022, not a present roadworthiness guarantee.
