2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LF18 RYB

The 2018 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass at the most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 95,535 miles, recording no defects. Across the available history the maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults, with every annual examination from February 2023 onward returning a pass free of advisories. The mileage rose from 54,638 miles at the 1 February 2023 test to 67,554 miles by 24 January 2024, then to 80,991 miles on 10 January 2025 and 95,535 miles on 6 January 2026. That equates to roughly 12,000 miles per year, which sits at typical use for an eight year old light commercial vehicle. The only anomaly is the failed test on 22 January 2024 at 67,554 miles, reversed two days later on 24 January 2024 at identical mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the DVSA data implies the previous keeper kept the van to a sound standard. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of brake discs and calipers for binding or wear, check subframe and sills for hidden rust, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these consumables fall outside the MOT snapshot. The clean advisory sheet across five tests indicates no recurring defect pattern requiring corrective action. Physical verification of underside structural integrity and drivetrain oil condition remains sensible due diligence before purchase.
