2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · BD18 AEO

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 July 2025 at 104,718 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum standards. While a failure was noted in July 2024, the immediate subsequent pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain legal operation. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the vehicle covered 15,595 miles, showing a steady rate of wear. A significant jump occurred between July 2024 and July 2025, with 16,952 miles recorded. This rapid accumulation suggests the van was likely used for long-distance commercial work, which accelerates the degradation of heavy-duty components compared to lower mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems most affected by high-mileage transit. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the front wish arms, suspension bushes, and coil springs is necessary to identify signs of perished rubber or fatigue. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, as the high-frequency use often leads to binding calipers. Although the MOT record is currently clean, checking the chassis for structural corrosion remains vital to ensure the high-mileage history has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
