2018 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · FG68 FHT

The Ford Transit Courier presents as roadworthy following the November 2025 test, where it passed at 76,125 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination returning a clean result once the initial failure was rectified. No advisories or worn consumables appear in the record, indicating the vehicle has not accumulated the typical minor faults seen at this age. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old van. The October 2023 test at 48,546 miles, the October 2024 test at 62,989 miles, and the November 2025 test at 76,125 miles show an average annual gain of roughly 13,800 miles between 2023 and 2025, above the lifetime average of 9,516 but not excessive for a commercial vehicle. The record is sparse, with only five entries and no recorded faults beyond two same-day failures in 2023 and 2025 that showed no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories across three years does not confirm structural integrity, only that the tester found nothing reportable on the day. Given the same-day fail-pass pattern at 48,545 and 76,124 miles, verify the vehicle was not presented with undocumented faults cleared before retest. Check the exhaust emissions and drivetrain for signs of neglect linked to the higher recent mileage. The previous owner kept the van to a passing standard but left no margin of recorded wear, so in-person checks of tyre tread depth and binding calipers remain prudent before purchase.
