2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · F3 CUL

The 2018 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 65,695 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The clean pass follows a two-day anomaly in which the same mileage entry on 22 April 2025 produced a failure with no defects logged, a likely administrative or data-entry irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three years the vehicle passed every test without advisories, showing no worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,200 miles, typical for an eight-year-old light commercial. The record charts 48,880 miles at the 26 April 2022 test, 54,291 miles on 28 March 2023, 59,980 miles on 23 April 2024, and 65,695 miles by April 2025. The gaps show consistent yearly use of around 5,000 to 6,000 miles with no standing periods or sudden accumulation. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and unladen van usage patterns that stress these parts. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the DVSA data does not exempt the chassis and sills from physical checks for rust under wheel arches. The repeated clean tests imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though the unexplained fail on 22 April 2025 warrants a request for the full VOSA failure sheet. Verify the tyre tread depth and wiper condition at viewing, as these consumables leave no trace on a passed record.
