2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · FH18 LCF

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable and highly consistent roadworthiness record, culminating in a clean pass on 24 June 2025 at 101,223 miles with zero defects. This unbroken string of flawless MOT outcomes over five consecutive years indicates a vehicle that has required no mechanical corrections or component replacements to meet minimum safety standards. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, suggesting the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate to the point of failure. The vehicle covers approximately 12,653 miles annually, a rate slightly elevated for an eight-year-old commercial van. The annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, ranging from 9,834 miles between 2021 and 2022 to a peak of 14,779 miles between 2022 and 2023. There are no alarming gaps in the record that would suggest long periods of inactivity, nor are there sudden, massive spikes in distance that might indicate severe commercial abuse. Instead, the steady climb from 49,832 miles in June 2021 to 101,223 miles in June 2025 reflects regular, sustained use. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the high-mileage wear items that MOTs only partially assess. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade under sustained load cycles typical of commercial work. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation require verification, as high annual mileages accelerate pad and disc consumption. The structural integrity of the chassis and load floor demands scrutiny for corrosion or stress fractures, particularly if the van has carried heavy payloads. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be checked, as uneven wear often signals underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues not captured by a pass certificate.
