2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV68 OMJ

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at 52,146 miles on 28 May 2025. The most recent test shows no defects, and the prior three annual tests also returned passes with no advisories logged. The maintenance history indicates consistent mechanical condition across the recorded period, with no worsening faults or recurring structural concerns flagged by DVLA testers. Mileage accumulation on this van is low for its eight-year life. The record shows 11,422 miles at the October 2022 test, rising only marginally to 11,736 miles by May 2023, then jumping to 41,356 miles at May 2024 and 52,146 miles by May 2025. That pattern points to a long standing period in the first four years followed by roughly 40,000 miles of use in the last two. Annual averages sit near 6,500 miles, typical for the age, but the gap implies the vehicle sat idle before heavier recent service. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low early mileage and subsequent rapid use. Standing time can allow corrosion to develop on brake components and underbody structure even when MOTs show clean. The absence of advisories across all tests suggests previous owners kept the van to test standard, yet no history replaces hands-on checks of exhaust emissions and structural integrity. Given the clean record and ordinary mileage, the Transit reads as a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint. Verify in person that the 2025 mileage of 52,146 is genuine and confirm no hidden rust or binding calipers exist after the idle period. The MOT data alone supports a sound verdict.
