2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · F4 TEV

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate as of 22 January 2026, though the history reveals a pattern of recurring mechanical issues. The most recent test flagged a slight play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and noted that the front brake pads were wearing thin. This indicates a lack of sustained maintenance on suspension components and braking systems. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a progression from 57,744 miles in January 2024 to 69,938 miles in January 2025, and then to 85,332 miles in January 2026. This steady rate of mileage suggests regular use, yet the repeated failures on the same components—specifically the anti-roll bar linkage and brake pad thickness—point toward a consistent oversight in preventative servicing. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, paying close attention to the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage for any excessive play or looseness. The front brake system requires immediate attention as the brake pads were recorded as being less than 1.5 mm thick during the failed test in January 2026. Furthermore, the history shows a trend of minor electrical faults, with fog lamps and position lamps failing on two separate occasions in 2025. While these are not structural concerns, they suggest general neglect of minor electrical upkeep. A comprehensive inspection should also be conducted to check for any signs of corrosion on structural panels, particularly around wheel arches and suspension mounting points.
