2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CT68 CEN

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 235,909 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests on 8 January 2025 at 211,102 miles and 25 November 2023 at 179,242 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent statutory compliance over the last three years. The vehicle has covered 235,909 miles in roughly eight years, an average of about 29,489 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to sustained heavy use. Mileage stepped from 148,502 on 28 November 2022 to 179,242 by November 2023, then to 211,102 in January 2025 and 235,909 by January 2026, showing steady annual accumulation rather than standing periods. A two-day gap in late November 2022 saw a fail on 26 November at 148,398 miles followed by a pass on 28 November at 148,502 miles, with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive repair. Given the clean MOT trail and high annual mileage, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable and structural items not always captured at test. Front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have absorbed considerable load cycles; check for cracking, corrosion, and uneven wear. Drivetrain components including clutch, turbo, and gearbox should be assessed for high-mileage fatigue. Examine the chassis and body mounts for structural rust, particularly around sills and rear crossmembers exposed to load and road salt. Verify service history aligns with the mileage, as the absence of MOT advisories does not confirm routine oil changes or belt replacement on a 235,000-mile unit.
