2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CX68 XUG

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 58,309 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 also show clean sheets. The single failure on 16 September 2024 at 49,809 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 7,289 miles across the eight-year life, a typical figure for this model. The records show steady annual accumulation: 31,280 miles in September 2022, 41,079 in September 2023, 49,809 in September 2024, and 58,309 in September 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean advisories across every entry suggest the previous owner kept basic consumable and structural checks current, though the sparse defect data limits deeper wear analysis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and light commercial duty cycle. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet standing moisture exposure on a Transit Custom can hide chassis rust beneath the body mounts. Verify the 16 September 2024 failure cause with DVSA, as the no-defect listing is unusual. Confirm service history matches the low annual mileage, and check tyre tread depth and wiper condition despite no advisories being raised.
