2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CT18 FUP

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 at 127,180 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its test seven months before the present date, so the certificate remains fresh. Recorded mileage stands at 127,180 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 15,900 miles per year. This is high for a light commercial of this age and points to sustained daily use rather than intermittent standing. The jump from 91,422 miles at the August 2023 test to 112,619 by November 2024 shows about 21,200 miles in fifteen months. A further 14,561 miles accrued by December 2025, confirming steady operator demand on drivetrain and running gear. Both failures recorded, on 14 August 2023 and 26 November 2025, list no defects and carry near-identical mileages to the subsequent passes two days and one week later. Such entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. Prior owners clearly kept the van to a passable standard, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever raised. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and load floor, as Transit Customs of this mileage commonly develop rust at sill and spring mount points unseen by MOT testers until advanced. Verify brake caliper operation and coil spring condition given the high annual use. Confirm the 2025 failure cause with the testing station, since the blank defect field offers no technical explanation for the rejected certificate.
