Our Verdict
A solid purchase for those needing a reliable workhorse with relatively low mileage for its age. The clean MOT history suggests a vehicle that has avoided the common pitfalls seen in many high-mileage Transits.
When inspecting this 2018 diesel Transit, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.0L engine has been maintained according to Ford's intervals, particularly regarding oil changes and fuel filter replacements. Given the recent MOT failure in February 2026, ask the seller for specific details on what caused the failure and what work was carried out to rectify it.
Check the condition of the tyres and braking components, as these are common failure points for this model. Since this is a white commercial vehicle, also inspect the bodywork for signs of heavy commercial use or minor dents that might not have been captured in the MOT testing process.
Running costs for this 1995cc diesel engine will be influenced by its usage; as a van, it is likely to be used for significant payloads which affects fuel economy. Expect typical diesel commercial vehicle insurance groups and tax bands, which vary based on the specific payload and weight rating of the vehicle.
Maintenance costs for the Ford Transit are generally predictable due to the vast availability of parts, but budget for regular servicing of suspension components and tyres. The estimated annual running cost is typically higher than a passenger car due to the nature of commercial vehicle wear and tear.
While the MOT history for LF18RYM has been largely clear, you should pay close attention to the headlamps and lighting systems, as 'headlamp' is a top failure reason for this model in our aggregate data. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or underside, which is another common issue noted in the wider Ford Transit population.
Additionally, inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. Even though no tyre defects were recorded in this vehicle's specific history, they remain a high-frequency failure point across the 731,994 Transits we have analysed.
This 2018 Ford Transit (LF18RYM) has covered 68,739 miles since its first registration in March 2018, which is significantly lower than the model average of 8,935 miles per year. The MOT record shows five tests, including a recent failure in February 2026 that was resolved immediately to achieve a pass on the following day. Aside from that single recorded failure, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record without advisories.
The Ford Transit shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4% across our dataset, with common issues relating to lighting, corrosion, and tyres.
