2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · AF68 OLK

The Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test on 1 November 2025 at 83,148 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old 2018 van, averaging roughly 10,394 miles per year against the 83,148 miles shown. The gap between the 23 October 2023 test at 65,753 miles and the 17 October 2024 failure at 76,155 miles covers about 10,400 miles, then only 212 miles separate that failure from the 1 November 2024 pass at 76,367 miles. The final year added 6,781 miles to reach the 2025 figure. The data is sparse but clean, with no rapid accumulation or long standing periods evident. The repeated test activity in late 2024 and late 2025 warrants a closer look by the buyer. On 17 October 2024 the van failed at 76,155 miles yet the record lists no defects, and a further failure on 1 November 2025 at 83,148 miles also shows no defects before the same-day pass. Such entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, but the buyer should confirm the VIN and test certificate details in person. No recurring mechanical or structural problems appear in the history, so focus the physical inspection on standard wear items not captured by a clean MOT: check coil springs, binding calipers, and underbody structural integrity for rust given the van's age. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these consumables fall outside the recorded advisories.
