2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · DG11 LLY

This Ford Transit Custom maintains an exemplary roadworthiness record, characterized by a consistent trend of clean passes. The most recent MOT conducted on 12 December 2025 at 20,373 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets all mandatory safety and environmental standards. The absence of any recorded advisories or failures over the last five years indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests the vehicle has been operated without significant mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 2,547 miles per annum since its initial registration. Records show a steady, incremental increase in mileage between the 2021 test at 15,220 miles and the 2025 test at 20,373 miles, confirming the vehicle has remained in regular, albeit light, use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This usage pattern typically reduces the likelihood of premature drivetrain fatigue, though it does necessitate a careful check for components that degrade due to age rather than distance. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during periods of light use. While the MOT history is clean, inspect the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or seizing, as low-mileage vans often suffer from under-utilization of the braking system. Examine the suspension bushes and rubber gaiters for signs of perishing, as these materials can harden and crack over eight years regardless of the low mileage. Check the underside for any early signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and leaf spring mounts, to ensure the vehicle remains in the robust condition suggested by its recent testing history.
