FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM2018 · 2.0L Diesel

The most recent MOT, a pass on 23 March 2026 at 94,338 miles, returned a clean sheet with no defects or advisories. This result, combined with the fact that the vehicle failed on the same day with no defects recorded, suggests a very minor or administrative issue was rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend is stable and positive, with no recurring mechanical or structural problems flagged across any of the recorded tests. The recorded mileage of 94,338 miles over roughly eight years equates to approximately 11,792 miles per annum, a typical usage pattern for a light commercial vehicle. There is a notable gap between the December 2023 test at 81,548 miles and the March 2025 test at 85,226 miles, a period of fifteen months covering only 3,678 miles. This low-usage interval is not a concern but does indicate the vehicle may have stood idle for extended periods. The subsequent twelve months saw a more typical 9,112 miles added, bringing the total to 94,338 miles by March 2026. Given the absence of any recorded failures or advisories across all tests, the MOT history provides no specific red flags. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on the usual high-wear items for a van of this age and mileage. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or corrosion, check the brake discs and pads for even wear and any binding, and examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and spring mounts. A full service history check is also advisable to confirm that routine maintenance, including timing belt and fluid changes, has been carried out on schedule.
