2018 Ford Allied 2.0L Diesel · SF18 RWK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test in April 2025 at 73,032 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a very stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per annum. Between June 2021 at 26,475 miles and July 2024 at 55,075 miles, the car covered 28,600 miles, showing steady usage. The more recent interval of 17,957 miles between the July 2024 and April 2025 tests suggests a recent increase in usage. This regular use is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents the seizing of seals and brake components that often occurs with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake failures, or suspension issues, a physical inspection should focus on the current state of consumables that are not tested during the MOT. A buyer should verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the record does not track their wear. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for rubber degradation in suspension bushes and control arms remains prudent to ensure no dry rot has occurred despite the clean test history.
