2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · DS10 BLJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in recent inspections. The most recent test conducted on 3 October 2025 at 93,161 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical or environmental issues have been addressed. This trend toward clean passes suggests a proactive standard of maintenance, as the vehicle has maintained with zero recorded faults in the last two annual tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,645 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between the September 2022 test at 51,850 miles and the October 2024 test at 82,083 miles, the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles, representing a period of higher annual use. However, the intervals between tests remain regular, suggesting the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity which often leads to degraded seals and corrosion. The only noted concern in the documented history was a minor exhaust leak identified during the October 2023 test at 73,423 miles. Since the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests showed no defects, this issue was likely repaired or replaced. A buyer should still inspect the underside of the exhaust manifold and piping for any signs of fresh soot or rust that indicate a recurring leak. Given the mileage exceeding 90,000 miles, focus should also remain on the condition of the suspension components, specifically the arm bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on Transit Customs models at this interval.
