2019 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · SL68 ABS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record despite its high usage. The most recent MOT on 08 May 2025 at 140,509 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three weeks prior on 16 April 2025 at 140,495 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor mechanical issue or a lighting component failure that was promptly rectified to achieve the successful retest. The mileage pattern indicates high annual usage, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year over the seven-year period. Between the 2022 test at 62,925 miles and the 2023 test at 89,731 miles, the vehicle covered over 26,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation is typical for a commercial vehicle used for heavy fleet work, which explains the wear-and-tear on components but also places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to private use. Given the high mileage and the nature of the Transit, a buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs. High-mileage vans frequently suffer from degradation of rubber components due to constant loading. You should also check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and structural mounting points, as the MOT record does not capture surface rust until it reaches a structural threshold. The clean history of advisories in previous years suggests the owner has addressed major faults proactively, but the brake discs and pads should be measured for thinness and uneven wear consistent with 140,000-mile intervals.
