2018 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · EY09 EDS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 16 2026, at 123,822 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately upon retest. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the vehicle has secured four consecutive clean passes without any recorded advisories or mechanical failures over the last three years. The mileage profile indicates high commercial usage for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in data between May 2023 and January 2024, where only 2,939 miles were covered, followed by a significant surge in use. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the vehicle clocked over 10,449 miles in just twelve months. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly for heavy duties, which typically accelerates the wear rate on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system due to the high mileage. On a Transit Courier of this age, the shock absorbers, ball joints, and coil springs often show signs of fatigue under heavy loads. Although the MOT history lacks advisories, the high annual mileage justifies a thorough check for binding calipers or thinning brake discs. You should also inspect the structural integrity of the chassis at the sills and mounting points to ensure that the high-frequency use has not led to accelerated corrosion that the MOT tester has yet to flag.
