2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LB67 UWP

The 2025-12-04 MOT at 71,833 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness criteria. Although earlier tests from 2023 through 2025 repeatedly flagged suspension arm ball joint dust cover failure, front brake pad and disc wear, and an inoperative engine malfunction indicator, the most recent successful test suggests that any prior deficiencies have been remedied or are no longer evident. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase of roughly 8,979 miles per year since the 2020 baseline of 25,396 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 2018 manufacture date; the interval between the 2023-12-12 failure at 50,872 miles and the 2025-11-12 failure at 71,833 miles represents an accumulation of 20,961 miles over two years, a rate consistent with typical usage for a light commercial van. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the offside front suspension arm ball joint and its dust cover, verify the condition of front and rear brake pads and discs for pitting or scoring beyond service limits, examine tyre tread depth and edge wear on both near and offside front tyres, and conduct a diagnostic scan to confirm the engine MIL is fully operational, while also checking the chassis for any structural rust that may have developed around suspension mounting points.
