2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CV18 OBP

The Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 136,574 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests in April 2025, April 2024, and April 2023 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 17 April 2024 at 108,978 miles where the tester logged no defects, followed four days later by a pass at 109,103 miles; this suggests an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. The van has covered 136,574 miles in roughly eight years, averaging about 17,072 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 vehicle and points to sustained commercial use. Mileage advanced from 95,247 at the April 2023 test to 109,103 by April 2024, then 121,890 in April 2025 and 136,574 in April 2026, showing consistent annual accumulation of around 12,000 to 15,000 miles with no standing periods. The MOT record is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion given the high mileage and age, as MOT passes with no defects do not capture wear below failure thresholds. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical checks for binding or fatigue from sustained load cycles. The April 2024 fail with no recorded defect implies the owner addressed a non-mechanical item quickly, but verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the reason was not omitted in the supplied data.
