2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · DE06 STY

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 81,432 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,179 per year against an eight-year lifespan, which is typical for this model. The records show steady accumulation: 32,137 miles in October 2021, 45,684 by November 2022, 58,829 in October 2023, 72,386 at December 2024, and 81,432 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA history is sparse on faults, with every test returning a pass and zero advisories logged at any stage. A clean sheet across five consecutive tests suggests the previous keeper maintained the van to a reasonable standard, with no skipped intervals and no deferred consumable work reaching the advisory stage. Buyers should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these wear items are not always captured by a pass result. Structural corrosion around chassis members and sills warrants a physical check given the vehicle's age. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee component life remaining. Verify service history matches the mileage steps above, and confirm tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions on the day of viewing. The van's record supports a sound purchase premise, subject to a hands-on check of the items a test centre may not flag.
