2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · ST18 ACV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 March 2026 at 86,603 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they could trigger test failures, avoiding the mechanical degradation often seen in commercial vehicles of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 55,366 miles and the March 2026 test at 86,603 miles, the vehicle covered 31,237 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,800 miles per year. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which lead to seal degradation nor the excessive strain associated with high-mileage commercial cycles. While the digital record shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for the Ford Transit platform. Given the mileage, the buyer should verify the condition of the front arm bushings and shock absorbers for leaks, as the MOT does not flag these until they become hazardous. Checking the chassis for surface rust around the rear mounting points is also prudent to ensure the clean test history reflects the actual structural integrity of the vehicle.
