2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · KW67 AXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on March 3, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure just one day prior indicates a lapse in preventative checks regarding minor components. The failure at 124,414 miles was caused by an ineffective nearside windscreen wiper, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and reduced offside headlamp intensity. These are minor electrical and consumable defects that were rectified quickly to achieve a clean pass with no remaining recorded advisories. At 124,416 miles, this Transit has averaged approximately 15,500 miles per year over its eight-year life. This high mileage profile suggests heavy commercial use. The data shows significant accumulation between January 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered 10,388 miles in just fourteen months. The period between January 2023 and January 2024 saw an even higher output of 14,315 miles. This consistent high-mileage places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment specifically, as the 2024 test flagged both front tyres as worn close to the limit and on the edge. This often indicates worn ball joints or incorrect tracking geometry. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs for thinning and the condition of the shock absorbers for leaks is essential. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion yet, the frequency of heavy use means the heavy-duty mechanical components are nearing the end of their primary service life.
