2018 Ford Roller Team 2.0L Diesel · SY18 BOF

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-19 confirming no defects at 34,099 miles. The prior test on 2026-03-16 recorded a failure but no specific issues, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor unresolved fault. Subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 consistently passed with no defects, indicating reliable maintenance. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the record, though the abrupt failure without explanation warrants scrutiny. The mileage of 34,099 miles over eight years equates to approximately 4,262 annual miles, significantly below average for the vehicle’s age. This low usage could reflect infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like tyres, fluids, and electrical systems. The MOT history lacks gaps, with consistent testing intervals, but the absence of defects in all recorded tests implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, the minimal mileage raises questions about potential dry rot, corrosion, or degraded seals requiring closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade without regular use. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be assessed for binding or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles can develop stiffness. Structural integrity, though unmentioned in MOTs, warrants scrutiny for rust or panel damage, especially in areas prone to corrosion. The recent failure without recorded defects also necessitates verifying that all issues were resolved before purchase.
