2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · TF14 DDS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on August 7, 2025 at 86,959 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately prior to the re-test, and the subsequent history shows a clean record without any recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The vehicle covered 15,814 miles between August 2022 and September 2023, followed by 13,151 miles between September 2023 and August 2024, and another 13,624 miles in the year leading up to the August 2025 test. This steady usage pattern indicates regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which often causes the degradation of rubber seals and brake components. Because the MOT record shows no historical advisories for structural rust or suspension components, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a Ford Transit of this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common points of fatigue on heavy-duty vans. Given the mileage, checking for uneven wear on the brake pads and evaluating the thickness of the discs is necessary to ensure the vehicle maintains the clean status reflected in the DVSA records.
