2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · GF18 OFT

The 2018 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2025 at 35,213 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean passes since the single failure in April 2022. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 35,213 miles over roughly eight years, an average of about 4,400 miles per year and low for a Transit of this age. The tests chart steady, light use: 22,000 miles on 14 April 2022, 26,215 on 22 March 2023, 30,897 on 9 April 2024, and 35,213 on 18 March 2025. The only anomaly is the failure on 12 April 2022 at 21,999 miles, reversed two days later at 22,000 miles with no defects listed, suggesting a clerical or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Sparse but clean records imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current without deferring consumables. Low annual mileage and a clean MOT trail give no evidence of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion needing attention. A buyer should still confirm in person that the Transit has not suffered from prolonged standing, which can age tyres, seize calipers, and promote underbody rust despite low miles. Inspect brake freedom, tyre sidewalls, and chassis for moisture damage. Given the absence of advisories across four passes, the van reads as a lightly used, well-kept example. Verify service history and check for intermittent faults not caught in the annual test before purchase.
