2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · FH67 WXF

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 January 2025 at 153,148 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test recorded no defects, and the vehicle carries a clean advisories sheet at that point. Prior to this, the test on 23 January 2025 at 153,146 miles failed with no defects logged, a pattern repeated on 15 February 2024 at 145,687 miles where both a fail and a pass were recorded on the same day with no faults listed. These administrative failures without recorded defects suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical decline. The van has covered 153,148 miles in roughly eight years, averaging about 19,144 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 light commercial and points to sustained hard use. Mileage jumped from 119,783 at the January 2023 pass to 145,687 by February 2024, an addition of near 26,000 miles in just over a year, then rose only 7,461 miles to the January 2025 test. The record shows no tests between January 2023 and February 2024, leaving a gap that limits visibility of condition during that period. Given the sparse entries and absence of advisories, the data offers little insight into wear progression on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and unknown standing periods. The twin same-day fail-pass entries in 2024 and 2025 with no defects noted mean the DVSA sheet cannot confirm whether binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions were ever scrutinised. Check the underside for structural rust and verify the front tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables wear fast on a Transit used at this distance. The clean MOT trail gives no evidence of recurring mechanical faults, but the repeated no-defect failures hint the previous keeper may have presented the van poorly rather than neglected upkeep. Treat the absence of advisories as a lack of recorded data, not proof of condition, and budget for a full pre-purchase mechanical check before commitment.
