2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · WR18 AAV

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a singular historical failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 October 2025 at 142,825 miles passed with no defects recorded, marking a period of three clean results over the last two years. This indicates that any mechanical issues identified in 2023 were successfully rectified and that the vehicle is currently meeting all DVSA standards for operational safety. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage typical of an eight-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 17,850 miles per annum. The data shows consistent accumulation, with a 4,667-mile interval recorded between June 2024 and October 2024, and another 4,535 miles between October 2023 and June 2024. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used for consistent commercial work rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent internal engine degradation and fluid breakdown, though it places significantly higher load on the drivetrain and suspension-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 142,825-mile reading, examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints for signs of excessive play or fatigue. The MOT failure in June 2023 at 130,386 miles, followed immediately by a pass three days later, suggests a specific fault was addressed, but the buyer should still verify the brake discs and calipers for thinning and check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting points to ensure the high-mileage environment has not led to accelerated metal fatigue.
