2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · AY02 ARY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 June 2025 at 126,757 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 15,845 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, with the odometer moving from 94,963 miles in June 2022 to 126,757 miles by June 2025. This represents a gain of 31,794 miles over three years. Such high usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests these have been managed. The record shows a failure on 23 June 2022, though the subsequent pass the following day at 94,961 miles lists no specific defects. This indicates a rapid rectification of a minor issue. Because the MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage Transit Custom, a physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook. A buyer should specifically check for chassis corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade on high-mileage work vehicles before triggering a formal failure. Inspect the brake discs for excessive lip wear and check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items not covered by a standard MOT test.
