2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · LT13 BER

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 June 2025 at 42,548 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This completes a five-year streak of clean MOT results, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets requirements without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 5,318 miles per annum. Between the June 2021 test at 24,426 miles and the June 2025 test at 42,548 miles, the vehicle covered 18,122 miles over four years. This consistent usage suggests the van was likely used for light duty tasks or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can occasionally lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for signs of perishation in such areas as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and wiper blades, which age regardless of tread depth. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for pitting or seizing if the vehicle has sat idle between service intervals. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the history, but a manual check of the underside sills and members remains standard practice to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed.
