2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · B3 CVM

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 February 2026 at 154,336 miles returned no defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation that would typically be flagged during the annual testing process. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 19,300 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. A significant surge in usage is noted between December 2021 and November 2022, where the vehicle covered 24,497 miles in just eleven months. Since then, the accumulation has remained consistent, with roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles added between each annual test. This high annual mileage suggests the van was likely used for commercial purposes or long-distance motorway work, which places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to high-mileage wear. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes for perished rubber and the coil springs for signs of fatigue or sagging, as heavy loads in a Transit Custom accelerate these issues. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers and thin discs, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than component thickness. While the record is clean, a close look at the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounting points, remains necessary to ensure the long-term integrity of the vehicle.
