2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV68 FNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection exactly one year ago. While the test on 24 June 2025 at 107,676 miles initially failed due to a non-functional nearside rear position lamp, this was rectified immediately to secure a pass with no further defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has moved from mechanical and structural failures in previous years to minor electrical bulb issues in the most recent cycle. The mileage pattern indicates consistent, heavy usage, averaging approximately 13,460 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between June 2023 at 85,559 miles and June 2024 at 96,259 miles, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles. This high annual mileage suggests the van was likely used for commercial transit work, which places significant stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The lack of long gaps between MOT tests shows the vehicle remained in regular operation rather than sitting stationary. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension given the history. The June 2024 test at 96,259 miles flagged thin offside rear brake pads, indicating that consumable components are reaching the end of their service life. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for a structural bulge in the nearside rear tyre and an inoperative engine management light suggests that previous owners may have overlooked critical safety and diagnostic warnings. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns and check the chassis for signs of corrosion, as high-mileage commercial vans often suffer accelerated degradation in structural integrity points.
