2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · FL68 ABO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 93,257 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in roadworthy condition without the recurring faults often seen in commercial vans. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old Transit Custom. The vehicle covered 15,094 miles between October 2021 and September 2022, followed by a slightly lower increase of 6,296 miles by September 2023. The most recent interval shows 4,677 miles added over the following 21 months. This gradual decrease in annual mileage suggests a shift in usage patterns rather than any mechanical instability. Because the DVSA records show no historical failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, there are no specific red flags to prioritize. The absence of mentioned corrosion is positive, but a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust, as MOT testers sometimes overlook minor oxidation that does not yet compromise structural integrity. A physical inspection should focus on general wear items that do not always trigger MOT failures. Check the condition of the clutch and the service history for oil changes, as the 93,257 mile reading puts the vehicle in a window where drivetrain consumables may require attention. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads to ensure the previous owner maintained the vehicle beyond the minimum legal requirements.
