2018 Ford Transit Courier 1.0L Petrol · WA18 TRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in February 2026 at 116,068 miles. However, the overall maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test failed just two miles prior to the pass due to a structural failure of the offside rear tyre and a discoloured indicator. While the vehicle cleared the latest test without defects, the history of consumable failures suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 116,068 miles over eight years, this Transit Courier has averaged approximately 14,500 miles per year, which is high for a small commercial vehicle. A significant spike in usage is evident between February 2023 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered 23,145 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of use places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the frequent reports of worn brakes and steering rack issues in the later test years. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering system, as the 2024 test flagged play in the offside front steering rack inner joints. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is critical, as these often suffer accelerated wear under heavy loads. The braking system also shows a clear pattern of neglect, with thin pads noted in 2024 and pitted, scored discs in 2025. You should verify the current thickness of the front discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing another replacement interval.
