2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · SK67 OUW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 23 December 2025 at 112,131 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of escalating suspension-related advisories that appear to have been addressed. While the 2024 test at 96,403 miles flagged multiple issues including nearside front track rod end play and worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts, the clean result in the latest inspection suggests these components have since undergone repair or replacement. The mileage accumulation shows a consistent and heavy usage pattern, averaging approximately 14,000 to 15,000 miles per year. The jump from 53,937 miles in December 2021 to 65,984 miles in December 2022, and subsequently to 112,131 miles by late 2025, indicates the vehicle has been in regular, high-frequency service. This level of usage is typical for a commercial Transit but places significant, predictable stress on the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension geometry. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the front-end suspension and steering assembly. Although the 2024 and 2023 records highlighted recurring wear in the suspension arm bushes and track rod ends, the lack of recent advisories implies these were rectified. However, given the high mileage and the history of bushing wear, checking for any signs of play in the steering or uneven tyre wear is necessary to ensure the previous repairs were effective. The 2021 record noted worn tyres and a damaged windscreen, which are standard consumable issues, but the subsequent years show a shift toward mechanical wear in the chassis components. Because the vehicle has covered over 112,000 miles, the buyer should also inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as any potential signs of corrosion in the underbody, which often accompanies high-mileage commercial vehicles used in varied environments.
