FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM2018 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a clean history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on February 2025 at 159,445 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests a consistent level of maintenance and that the previous owner has addressed potential issues before they triggered a failure, maintaining a clean record across the last four inspection periods. The mileage data indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between September 2021 and October 2022, the vehicle covered 31,554 miles, showing a significant spike in activity. However, the interval between September 2023 and February 2025 saw an additional 14,343 miles covered in just 17 months. This rapid mileage accumulation puts considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the lack of advisories suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than neglected. Given the high mileage and clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to accelerated wear on Ford Transit models. A buyer must closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as high annual mileage often exhausts these rubber components. The braking system should be checked for thin discs or binding calipers, and the structural integrity of the chassis needs verification for hidden corrosion, particularly around the mounting points and underside where the MOT tester may not detect minor surface rust.
