2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CX18 SSJ

The 2018 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 149,878 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure in the record was a one-day anomaly with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentational issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 149,878 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 18,735 miles per year and marking this van as high-use for its age. The records show steady accumulation: 92,403 miles at the 1 March 2023 test, 117,419 at the 28 February 2024 pass, 135,212 by 18 February 2025, and 149,878 by March 2026. No standing gaps or sudden jumps appear; the prior owner clearly ran it as a working vehicle on a consistent annual cycle. The MOT history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five entries. A clean sheet at this mileage is unusual and implies either diligent consumable replacement or, more cautiously, that testers did not log minor wear. The 27 February 2024 failure with zero defects recorded warrants a check of the original refusal notice to confirm it was not a withdrawn or duplicated test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain given the 149,878-mile load. Focus on subframe rust, driveshaft wear, and turbo or DPF condition, none of which the MOT cycle captured as faults. The absence of recorded issues does not exempt a high-mileage Transit from in-person scrutiny of chassis and mechanical fatigue.
