2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV68 KBK

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 October 2023 at 86,789 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record shows a clean test outcome in September 2021 at 58,886 miles, followed by passes in October 2022 and October 2023, both at identical mileages to a prior failed attempt two to four weeks earlier. Annual mileage averages 10,849 across the eight-year life, which is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The odometer moved from 58,886 miles in September 2021 to 69,869 miles by September 2022, then held at 86,789 miles across both the October 2023 fail and pass. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows 16,920 miles added in thirteen months, a slightly elevated but unremarkable rate. The repeated matching mileages on fail and pass dates indicate the vehicle was presented, rejected, then retested without further road use, though no defect reason appears in the DVSA data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points on the chassis and sills, as the MOT record captures no advisories that would confirm or deny hidden rust. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite the absence of flagged wear. The two failed tests with no recorded defects suggest administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical neglect, but the lack of advisory history leaves consumable condition unverified. Given the sparse three-year snapshot and zero advisories, previous ownership appears to have kept the van to a basic pass standard without accruing visible wear items. Verify the 2023 failure cause via full DVSA failure codes before purchase, and confirm current tyre tread, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions through a pre-sale check.
