2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · AE68 YUB

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent pass on 8 May 2025 at 66,673 miles with no defects recorded. The test one day earlier on 7 May 2025 failed at 66,663 miles yet listed no defects, indicating an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 25 August 2023 at 55,836 miles and on 1 September 2022 at 50,259 miles, showing no recurring advisories or escalating wear across the recorded history. Recorded mileage sits at 66,673 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,334 miles per year and reflecting typical light commercial use. The gap between the September 2022 test at 50,259 miles and the August 2023 test at 55,836 miles shows only 5,577 miles covered in eleven months. From August 2023 to May 2025 the van added 10,837 miles over twenty-one months, confirming a low annual accumulation that suggests limited duty cycles and reduced strain on drivetrain and suspension components. The MOT record flags no corrosion, brake binding, suspension bush wear, or exhaust emission failures at any stage. The clean pass history implies previous owners maintained statutory test compliance, though the unexplained fail on 7 May 2025 with zero defects warrants verification of the V5C and test certificate to rule out clerical error. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the body, check coil springs and brake discs for hidden fatigue, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition as these consumables fall outside MOT defect capture once renewed.
