2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · MF18 PXC

The 2018 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 113,588 miles passed with no defects recorded, following three prior passes and a single failed attempt that was rectified on the same day in 2023. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has been presented for test in a condition acceptable to DVSA standards without outstanding wear items. The mileage pattern shows consistent annual use at roughly 14,200 miles per year, which is high for an eight-year-old van but evenly spread. From the 25 April 2022 test at 99,723 miles, the van covered 4,977 miles to the April 2023 test at 104,700 miles, then 3,866 miles to April 2024 at 108,566 miles, and 5,022 miles to April 2025 at 113,588 miles. The record is sparse in detail, with every pass and the failed entry showing no defects recorded, so no consumable or structural concerns are documented for the buyer to trace. The 19 April 2023 failure at 104,700 miles carries no listed defect, which suggests an administrative or emissions-related rejection cleared and passed on retest the same day rather than a hard mechanical fault. Given the clean history and high mileage, a buyer should still physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not captured by the MOT, and check the chassis and sills for corrosion given the van's age and commercial duty cycle. Previous owners appear to have maintained test compliance without neglected presentations, as shown by the repeated passes and absence of tyre or brake advisories. The lack of recorded faults does not remove the need for an independent inspection of drivetrain and structural integrity before purchase, given 113,588 miles of light commercial operation.
