2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · AF68 UDY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 105,223 miles and no recorded defects. This reflects a period of consistent mechanical maintenance following a minor electrical failure in 2024. The trend shows a transition from reactive repairs back to a clean test sheet, suggesting that the current owner is addressing identified issues before they escalate into major test failures. The mileage data indicates high-usage patterns for an eight-year-old van, averaging over 13,000 miles per annum. A significant surge in usage is visible between November 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered 28,895 miles in less than a year. This rapid accumulation places considerable strain on heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension geometry and drivetrain. While the vehicle has maintained clean records, the high annual mileage typically accelerates the wear of consumable items and rubber-related suspension parts. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system, given the October 2022 failure where an offside front hydraulic brake caliper was found insecurely mounted. While this was rectified, a physical check for fluid leaks or bolt corrosion remains prudent. The high mileage also necessitates a thorough examination of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often fail on Transit models under heavy loads. Additionally, verify the condition of the windscreen wiper set to ensure the 2022 failure was properly resolved and adjusted, and check the nearside rear registration lamp for functional operation following the 2024 test.
