FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM2018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent MOT test on 13 August 2025 at 139,438 miles. This lack of defects indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in August 2023, the van has completed two consecutive annual inspections without recorded advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed identified issues promptly and maintained a consistent standard of operation. The mileage data reflects high-intensity commercial use consistent with a Transit Custom, averaging approximately 17,400 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the vehicle covered 45,191 miles, showing a significant accumulation of wear. The interval of 18,439 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests confirms this heavy usage pattern. Such high annual mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, yet the clean MOT results suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to neglect that would typically result in immediate mechanical failure. Given the high-mile history, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the heavy-duty suspension components. The buyer should check for advanced corrosion on the sills and mounting points, which are common areas for high-mileage vans of this age. Close attention to the front control arm bushes and shock absorbers is also vital, as these parts often degrade rapidly under constant heavy loads. While the MOT record is clean, the sheer mileage suggests that consumable items like brake discs and wheel bearings may be nearing the service life regardless of the recent pass status.
