2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CY18 MXC

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 118,173 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across five consecutive annual examinations. The vehicle shows no advisories or mechanical faults in any supplied record, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards. Mileage accumulation sits high for an eight-year-old van at 118,173 recorded miles, averaging roughly 14,772 miles per year. The records reveal a pronounced jump between 3 October 2023 (89,344 miles) and 7 October 2024 (114,763 miles), adding 25,419 miles in a single year against the longer-term average. Prior to that, annual increases held near 16,000 to 17,000 miles. The sparse but clean history offers no flagged wear items, though the absence of advisories on a high-mileage commercial vehicle suggests either diligent servicing outside the test bay or cursory test scrutiny. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the elevated annual mileage and the 25,000-mile surge in the 2023 to 2024 period. Drivetrain components including clutch wear and gearbox condition warrant physical checks the MOT does not cover. Structural corrosion around sills and chassis mounting points remains a known Transit Custom risk despite zero rust advisories on file. Examine exhaust emissions hardware and tyre sidewall condition closely, as consumable replacement cycles on a van used at this intensity fall between tests.
