2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FD18 PSY

The most recent MOT on 2023-03-23 shows a failure due to rear brake pads measuring 1.1mm (below the 1.5mm legal minimum) and a front registration plate with illegible inscription. This indicates critical wear on braking components and a minor but non-compliant issue with vehicle identification. A pass was recorded on the same date at 63,746 miles, suggesting the vehicle may have been retested after repairs. The discrepancy in results for the same date requires clarification, as it raises questions about the accuracy of the MOT records. The 2021-08-23 MOT failure highlighted deep cuts in both rear tyres , exceeding safety limits. This suggests potential exposure to harsh road conditions or poor tyre maintenance. No further tyre-related issues were recorded in subsequent tests, but the 2023 brake pad failure points to ongoing wear on braking systems. Between 2021 and 2023, the vehicle had two failures but no other major defects, indicating intermittent but serious concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,746 miles over 8 years aligns with average usage (approx. 7,968 miles/year).
