2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LB67 WJC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs as the mileage escalates. The most recent test in October 2025 at 205,002 miles resulted in a pass, yet flagged advisories for both rear tyres being near the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a clean record in 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle is currently operational, it is now requiring more frequent attention to high-wear components. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally aggressive, indicating heavy commercial use. Between October 2022 at 72,550 miles and October 2024 at 163,123 miles, the vehicle covered over 90,000 miles in just two years. This rate accelerated further with another 42,000 miles recorded by the October 2025 test. An average of over 25,000 miles per year places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to a standard passenger-use vehicle. A physical inspection must focus on the braking system and fluid integrity. The October 2023 test at 118,730 miles identified pitted and scored brake discs on both front wheels alongside an oil leak and a coolant leak. A buyer should verify if these leaks were professionally rectified or if they represent ongoing issues with engine gaskets or cooling seals. The uneven tyre wear noted on the rear axle in 2025 also suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that require checking to prevent further premature degradation.
