2018 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 119,651 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the immediate pass suggests a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial item, as no specific faults were listed. Mileage accumulation has increased significantly in recent years. The vehicle covered 26,947 miles between September 2022 and September 2024, but the rate accelerated sharply thereafter. Between 3 September 2024 and 17 September 2025, the odometer rose by 22,180 miles. This high annual average suggests heavy commercial use, which typically places greater stress on the drivetrain and suspension than light urban driving. The complete absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a high-mileage Transit Custom. Most vehicles of this age and usage show wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust components. The lack of recorded defects suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime by the previous owner or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus on physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as MOT records often overlook early-stage structural rust. Given the mileage, a manual check of the clutch bite point and the condition of the dampers is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not been overworked. Inspecting the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is critical, as these are high-wear items not covered by a standard MOT check.
