2018 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · YR18 UGE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in November 2025 at 97,117 miles. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to the period of neglect in late 2024. While the 2024 test failed due to multiple consumable and lighting issues, the subsequent successful pass without recorded defects indicates that the previous owner addressed the flagged brake components, tyres, and headlamp failure. At 97,117 miles, this eight-year-old Transit has covered an average of approximately 12,140 miles per year, which reflects consistent commercial use rather than stationary periods. The mileage record shows steady accumulation, with roughly 15,500 miles driven between May 2023 and November 2024, and another 10,000 miles covered in the final year. This high annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components, which aligns with the recurring wear noted in the history. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and braking system, as the history shows a pattern of thinning brake pads and pitted discs across the 2023 and 2024 tests. The previous report of misting on the offside rear shock absorber in 2023 warrants a recheck to ensure the seal failure has not progressed. Additionally, given the distorted nearside front road wheel noted in 2023, the buyer should check for vibrations at speed or uneven tyre wear that might suggest the wheel was not replaced or that the geometry remains out of alignment.
