2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · D3 MSR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 114,667 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where multiple failures were noted. While the history shows a pattern of minor electrical and consumable failures, the latest clean pass suggests that the current owner is addressing identified faults promptly and maintaining the vehicle to a functional standard. At 114,667 miles over eight years, this Transit Custom averages approximately 14,333 miles per annum, which is consistent with a heavy-duty commercial profile. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 6,432 miles, followed by another 6,670 miles in the eleven months leading up to the February 2026 test. This consistent annual mileage accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which typically places significant stress on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. A buyer should pay close attention to the electrical system, as the nearside registration plate lamp and various position lamps appeared as recurring failures across 2024 and 2025. The presence of non-standard blue LEDs in the 2024 record suggests aftermarket modifications that may have caused wiring issues or interference. Furthermore, the 2024 failure for an exposed cord on the nearside rear tyre indicates that tyre maintenance may have been rushed, necessitating a thorough inspection of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity to ensure no structural damage remains on the high-mileage components.
