2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CV68 POU

The Ford Transit presents a currently valid roadworthy status following the October 2025 test cycle, with the final October 2025 pass at 125,872 miles showing no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the test history reveals administrative anomalies rather than mechanical decline. Two failed tests on 21 and 22 October 2025 at near-identical mileages of 125,869 and 125,872 returned no defects, with a pass issued the same day on the third attempt. This pattern suggests clerical or processing errors at the testing station rather than worsening condition or recurring faults. Mileage sat at 92,541 in the October 2023 test and rose to 106,211 by October 2024, then climbed to 125,872 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 13,670 miles between 2023 and 2024 and 19,661 miles in the following year, tracking above the vehicle's average of 15,734 annual miles. The eight-year total of 125,872 reflects sustained commercial use consistent with Transit duty cycles. No gaps appear in the record; tests landed yearly within a one-day window each October, implying the keeper maintained statutory compliance without lapse. The DVSA data flags no advisories across any entry, so no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns were raised by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain wear given the high mileage and dense urban or load cycles typical of this model. The repeated zero-defect fails in October 2025 warrant confirmation that the current V5C and MOT certificate match the live DVSA status, as the twin failures with no recorded defect remain irregular for a clean pass outcome.
