Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a high-us
Given the mileage of 125,751, focus your attention on the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements have kept pace with the high annual usage. Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance requirements typical for a vehicle crossing the 125,000-mile threshold, such as timing belt or water pump intervals if not already documented.
Verify whether the brake pad wear noted in March 2025 and the disc pitting mentioned in March 2022 were rectified. Request receipts for these specific repairs to ensure the braking system has been properly refreshed rather than just passing the minimum safety requirements.
Powered by a 1995cc diesel engine, this Transit is designed for efficiency over long distances, though fuel costs will be significant given its high-mileage profile. You should check the specific Euro emission standard for this 2018 model to determine if it is subject to Clean Air Zone (CAZ) or ULEZ charges in your area.
Annual costs will include commercial vehicle tax and insurance, which varies by group. Maintenance costs for high-mileage Transits typically involve frequent tyre replacements and brake servicing. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £2,200-£2,800, accounting for fuel, tax, and routine wear-and-tear.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The MOT history specifically highlights rear brake pads wearing thin in 2025 and pitted front discs in 2022; ensure these components are in good health. Check the nearside wing mirror for any remaining cracks or poor-quality replacements following the 2023 advisory.
While this specific vehicle has not recorded corrosion in its MOT history, it is a top failure reason for the Transit model. Carefully inspect the chassis, sills, and wheel arches for signs of rust. Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and operation, as these are another common failure point for this model range.
This white 2018 Ford Transit has recorded 125,751 miles and has passed all five of its MOT tests since registration. Its pass record is stronger than the model aggregate average of 74.4%. The vehicle has been used more intensively than the average Transit, as evidenced by its current mileage relative to the model's annual average of 8,962 miles.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failure points being headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
