2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · AF18 GWV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 55,757 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating a stable and reliable mechanical condition over the last five years. This trend suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the recurring mechanical or structural failures often seen in commercial vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the vehicle covered only 1,965 miles, suggesting a period of low usage or stationary time. However, usage increased significantly in the following years, with over 30,000 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2026 tests. This later shift in usage does not appear to have compromised the vehicle's integrity, as the drivetrain and chassis components have passed without signs of the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage commercial work. Because the MOT record shows no historical advisories for suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of consumable items. A buyer should check for early signs of rubber degradation in suspension components or minor pitting on brake discs which can occur during periods of low use. Given the low overall mileage, the tyres should also be inspected for flat spotting or sidew cracking that might result from the vehicle sitting idle for extended periods. The data indicates a vehicle that has not been subjected to heavy-duty abuse.
