2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CT68 DWY

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable and flawless maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 14 April 2025 at 139,507 miles. Note that this certificate expired in April 2026, meaning the van is currently due a fresh roadworthiness assessment. Every recorded test in the vehicle's history returned zero defects, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep and no recurring faults. This unblemished record suggests the van has been reliably maintained, with no worsening or emerging issues flagged by testers over the past four years. Accumulating 139,507 miles over an eight-year lifespan equates to roughly 17,438 miles annually, a high figure that points to sustained commercial or long-distance use. The data shows a notable jump of 24,071 miles between the November 2021 test at 91,623 miles and the December 2022 test at 115,694 miles, followed by a slower accumulation of 9,366 miles over the subsequent year. From December 2023 to April 2025, the van covered 14,447 miles, confirming the owner continued to put significant mileage on the clock. The MOT record is exceptionally clean, lacking the typical advisories or minor defects often seen on high-mileage commercial vehicles. Despite the pristine MOT history, the high annual mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of wear-prone components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads for lipping and wear, alongside checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration typical of a heavily loaded van. The drivetrain and clutch operation require assessment for play or judder, given the sustained high mileage. Structural integrity warrants particular attention; inspect the chassis, sills, and load floor for corrosion or cracking, as commercial Transits operating at this pace often suffer from fatigue that a static MOT inspection might not immediately reveal.
