2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CT18 FBY

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 13 January 2026 at 67,281 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the entire documented history indicates a vehicle that has consistently met structural and mechanical standards. This unblemished record suggests a fastidious approach to preventative maintenance and immediate rectification of wear items before they escalate into failures. The annual mileage accumulation sits at roughly 8,410 miles per year, aligning perfectly with typical usage for a commercial van of this age. The intervals between tests show a steady, predictable progression of wear. Between the July 2022 test at 35,375 miles and the June 2023 test at 42,320 miles, the van covered 6,945 miles. The subsequent year saw slightly heavier use, accumulating 4,792 miles by June 2024, followed by a notable increase of 1,792 miles over the next seven months leading to the January 2025 test. The most recent fifteen months show a significant jump of 18,375 miles, indicating a shift toward more intensive, potentially long-distance commercial operation. While the MOT record contains zero advisories to target, a physical inspection must account for the recent surge in mileage and the inherent demands placed on a working panel van. Focus on the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which endure considerable stress under load. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as frequent heavy stopping accelerates component degradation. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the load floor and underbody, as commercial vehicles often suffer hidden impact damage or surface rust that does not always trigger an MOT failure immediately.
