2018 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · YP18 ABV

The 2018 Ford Transit’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-11 at 95,071 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure on 2025-07-03 at 95,060 miles, also with no recorded defects. This back-to-back outcome suggests potential inconsistency in testing or administrative error, though no mechanical issues were flagged. Previous tests from 2024-07-01 (86,255 miles) and 2023-03-21 (76,913 miles) showed passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record overall. The vehicle’s mileage of 95,071 miles aligns with an average of 11,884 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT history reveals no significant gaps in testing, with annual assessments from 2023 to 2025. However, the jump from 76,912 miles in 2023 to 86,255 miles by 2024-07-01 suggests a 9,343-mile increase within 12 months, which could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. The 2025-07-11 pass at 95,071 miles confirms no immediate critical failures, but the prior failure without defects raises questions about the reliability of the testing process. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common issues in older vans. Structural integrity should also be checked for rust or panel damage, as MOTs do not assess non-structural corrosion. The absence of advisories in the record is positive, but the repeated testing without defects may indicate minimal mechanical stress, assuming the MOT results are accurate.
