2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · BB68 DMB

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having recorded a PASS on the 5 January 2026 MOT at 65,676 miles after a prior failure for a non‑functioning windscreen washer. Recent failures have been addressed, yet the pattern of recurring minor faults – long parking‑brake travel, mis‑aligned off‑side washers and intermittent lighting defects – indicates a maintenance trend that is neither deteriorating nor fully resolved, but requires ongoing attention. At eight years old the odometer shows 65,676 miles, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year, which sits comfortably within typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage rose from 57,673 miles on the 17 September 2024 test to 63,958 miles on the 30 July 2025 test, an increase of 6,285 miles in ten months, then to 65,676 miles by the January 2026 test, a further 1,718 miles in five months. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear, suggesting steady, moderate use rather than periods of neglect or heavy abuse. A prospective buyer should verify that the windscreen washer system now operates correctly and that the off‑side washers are properly aligned, as these items have failed on two occasions. The parking‑brake travel should be inspected for excessive length, which may point to worn linkage or bushings. All lighting – nearside front headlamp, off‑side fog light and nearside rear stop lamp – must be tested for correct operation and proper aim, given previous failures. Brake pads, especially the rear set, should be measured for remaining thickness and checked for any signs of uneven wear or binding calipers, as a brake‑wear warning light and thin‑pad advisory have been recorded. Finally, a visual survey of the suspension components and any corrosion on structural elements will confirm whether the vehicle’s underlying condition aligns with the MOT history.
