2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LB67 WDV

The 2018 Ford Transit has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over its MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests conducted between January 2023 and January 2026. The most recent test on 26 January 2026, at 52,385 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, and the absence of advisories suggests that any minor wear—such as brake pad thickness or tyre condition—has been addressed before testing. This pattern indicates responsible maintenance, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden issues requiring closer inspection. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,500 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial van of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage, though the record does not extend beyond the last test. The most notable observation is the duplicate entry for January 2024, where both a pass and a fail are logged at the same mileage—likely an administrative error rather than a mechanical anomaly. This anomaly aside, the data reflects consistent operation without prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested under MOT regulations. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are critical for ride quality and handling but often overlooked between tests. Examine the brake system for uneven wear on discs or calipers, as binding or excessive heat damage could indicate past neglect. Structural integrity is also worth assessing, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the underbody, where corrosion can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, particularly at joints and hangers, as leaks or damage may not have been flagged if they were minor at test time.
