Our Verdict
A solid option for those needing a relatively modern commercial vehicle. The single recorded MOT pass with no defects suggests the vehicle has been kept in a compliant state during its first few years of service.
When inspecting this 1.995cc diesel Transit, focus on the service history to ensure the high mileage—which is significantly above the 8,900-mile annual average for this model—has been supported by regular oil changes and filter replacements. Given its use as a commercial vehicle, check for signs of heavy load wear on the suspension and interior cab plastics.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 57,000 miles in roughly three and a half years, this van has been driven much harder than the typical example. Ensure you verify the timing belt or chain intervals, as high-mileage diesel engines require strict adherence to manufacturer schedules to avoid costly repairs.
Running costs for this Transit will be heavily influenced by its diesel engine and commercial classification. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a 2.0L diesel engine, though actual costs will depend on payload and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for Ford Transits vary, so obtain a specific quote for WR72JBO before purchasing.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be predictable, but you should budget for more frequent tyre and brake replacements due to the higher-than-average mileage recorded. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £2,200-£2,800, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Although the February 2026 MOT showed no defects, you should specifically inspect the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most common failure points for the Ford Transit model aggregate. Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the anti-roll bar and related suspension components. Since these are top failure reasons for this model across the 731,415 vehicles analysed, checking for play in the bushings or knocks when driving over bumps is a prudent step for this specific vehicle.
This 2023 Ford Transit (WR72JBO) is a diesel-powered workhorse with 57,367 miles on the clock. Based on its MOT history, the vehicle passed its most recent test in February 2026 with no defects recorded. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 8,900 per year, the lack of recorded failures is a positive indicator for a commercial vehicle of this age.
Aggregate data for the Ford Transit shows a 74.4% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to lighting, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
