2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · GU68 ABO

In the 18 June 2026 MOT at 96,049 miles the record shows a pass but also a concurrent failure. The pass cites a worn rear anti‑roll bar linkage pin/bush (5.3.4(a)(i)) and a non‑critical windscreen damage (3.2(a)(i)). The failure adds an offside front windscreen wiper that does not clear effectively (3.4(b)(ii)) and repeats the same anti‑roll bar and windscreen entries. The brake condition is not mentioned in the 2026 entries, but earlier tests flag thin rear pads and worn discs on both axles. The pattern indicates a stable to slightly worsening maintenance trend, with recurring wear items and a new wiper fault emerging. The mileage progression is consistent with a work‑use vehicle. From the 4 October 2021 test at 43,339 miles to the 12 June 2023 test at 58,892 miles the vehicle added roughly 15,500 miles in 1.75 years. The next annual test on 24 June 2024 recorded 72,683 miles, a gain of about 13,800 miles in 12 months. The 23 June 2025 test at 83,689 miles added roughly 11,000 miles, and the most recent test on 18 June 2026 reached 96,049 miles, an increase of 12,360 miles in just 11 months. This averages around 12,000 miles per year, which is high for an 2018 model but typical for a commercial van. A buyer should inspect the rear brake pads for remaining thickness, check both front and rear discs for pitting or scoring, and test the anti‑roll bar linkage for excessive play in the pins and bushes. The suspension mounts and trailing arms should be examined for corrosion or wear. The windscreen should be inspected for any damage that could affect visibility, and the wiper blades tested for effective clearing. The registration plate lamp circuit should be verified, and all four tyres inspected for cracking or perishing sidewalls. Finally, a thorough under‑body scan for rust around the chassis and wheel arches is advisable given the high mileage and the recorded tyre deterioration.
