2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · BC02 APC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 68,934 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical and lighting issues have been addressed. This follows a period of clean passes in 2025 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Data shows steady accumulation, with 7,760 miles covered between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,723 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regularity suggests predictable use patterns rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the rubber-based components and braking systems to prevent dry-rot or seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, given the faults flagged during the April 2024 test at 53,471 miles. The tester identified worn front suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside, and while these passed the subsequent tests, the components should be re-checked for any further play or tearing in the rubber material. Additionally, the 2022 report noted perishing on rear tyres indicates that the vehicle may be prone to age-related rubber degradation, so a close inspection of the sidewalls on the current tyres is necessary to ensure they are not cracking despite having tread depth.
