2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CP18 PNE

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 2 July 2025 at 69,465 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old Transit Custom. The distance covered between the June 2021 test at 44,450 miles and the July 2025 test at 69,465 miles shows a steady increase, averaging roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or sudden changes in duty cycle. The lack of recorded defects across five years is uncommon for a commercial vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions throughout the entire record. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, which suggests the previous owner adhered to a strict service regime rather than reacting only to MOT failures. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of common Transit wear points that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Focus on the condition of the clutch and the smoothness of the gearbox transitions. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt or cambelt replacement, as the MOT record does not track internal engine maintenance. Verify the current depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their life.
