2018 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM2.0L Diesel

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 1 April 2025 at 119,262 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in September 2023 at 117,895 miles and September 2021 at 61,230 miles also passed clean. The maintenance record shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories across the available history. Mileage stands at 119,262 over roughly eight years, an average of about 14,900 miles per year which is high for a vehicle of this age and points to sustained commercial use. The record shows a sharp climb from 61,230 miles in September 2021 to 90,069 miles by September 2022, then a slower period to 117,895 in September 2023 and only 1,367 miles added before the April 2025 test. A failed test on 27 September 2022 at 90,069 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded cause rather than a mechanical fault. The clean MOT history gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, so the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of these items given the high annual mileage. Drivetrain components and exhaust emissions warrant checks for fatigue from the early heavy use between 2021 and 2022. The long standstill from late 2023 to spring 2025 may have allowed moisture-related corrosion or flat-spotted tyres to develop despite the pass result. Previous keepers appear to have kept the van to a basic pass standard with no advisories addressed proactively. A pre-purchase check should confirm underbody integrity and brake caliper condition, as the records alone do not evidence consumable renewal or preventative care.
