2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CV68 BYN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in November 2025 at 92,572 miles flagged thin brake pads on both the nearside and offside front. This follows a pattern seen in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the owner consistently waits to replace brake components only when they approach the legal limit of wear. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the May 2022 test at 50,103 miles and the November 2023 test at 68,280 miles, where the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles in just eighteen months. Since then, the usage has remained steady at roughly 12,000 miles annually, which places standard stress on the heavy-duty suspension and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and associated hardware. The 2024 record specifically noted the offside rear brake disc was pitted and scored, which, combined with the recurring thin pad alerts, suggests the calipers may be sticking or failing to retract properly. The buyer should also inspect the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear, as the heavy use of the brakes often accelerates the degradation of these components on a Transit Custom.
