2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · SF18 BKL

The 2018 Ford Transit passed its latest March 2026 MOT at 32,909 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend; all previous tests, including the January 2025 retest after a failed January 2025 inspection, also showed no defects. The mileage trajectory reflects light usage relative to the vehicle’s eight‑year age, averaging just over 4,100 miles per year. After the February 2023 test at 19,282 miles, the next inspection occurred in March 2024 at 24,715 miles, a gain of 5,433 miles over roughly 13 months, followed by a further 6,244 miles by January 2025 and 1,950 miles by March 2026, suggesting occasional periods of increased use rather than continuous high‑intensity operation. A buyer should focus on the vehicle’s suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit wear despite the clean test history, and inspect the condition of brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear. Particular attention to structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, is advisable, as is a thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Overall, the record shows consistent, defect‑free outcomes and reasonable mileage accumulation, but a physical inspection remains essential to verify the integrity of suspension, braking, and structural elements before purchase.
