2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CV18 OEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 1, 2026, at 111,084 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addressed identified failures prior to the retest dates. The most recent failure regarding a nearside rear position lamp affected by another light is a minor electrical defect that does not indicate mechanical neglect, suggesting the vehicle is currently operating without deep-seated component failure. At 111,084 miles over eight years, this Transit Custom has averaged approximately 13,886 miles per year. This represents consistent commercial use typical for a work van rather than long periods of standing. The data shows steady accumulation, with 6,408 miles driven between the May 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 8,166 miles covered in the final year leading to the latest inspection. This high mileage puts predictable strain on heavy-duty components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside drive shaft area, as the constant velocity boot was flagged as split in April 2025 at 102,918 miles. While this was repaired, a physical check should ensure no grease leakage or premature bearing wear remains in the joint. The 2024 record noted thin brake pads on both axles, indicating the vehicle operates under heavy load cycles; therefore, the current thickness of the pads and discs must be verified to ensure no immediate maintenance costs. Given the mileage, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension geometry is also essential to ensure the integrity of the van has not been compromised by high-mileage use.
