2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · BG18 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 12 January 2026, confirming its roadworthiness as of that date. The maintenance record appears stable, as the vehicle has successfully cleared its last three annual inspections without any recorded advisories or defects. While the immediate failure prior to the most recent pass suggests a minor administrative or testing hurdle, the absence of recurring mechanical faults indicates a consistent level of upkeep. This Ford Transit Custom has covered 121,964 miles over an eight-year period, averaging approximately 15,246 miles per annum. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 24,800 miles added between the August 2024 and January 2026 tests. This high-intensity usage pattern is typical for a commercial vehicle of this class, suggesting it has spent the majority of its life in active service rather than sitting idle. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often escape notice during standard testing. Given the high mileage, inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or play, as these parts endure significant stress under heavy loads. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, and look for any signs of weeping oil around the engine and transmission seals. While the MOT history is clean, a thorough check of the chassis for surface corrosion and a verification of the service history are necessary to ensure the drivetrain has received the oil changes required for such high-mileage operation.
