2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · FP18 AZW

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 49,084 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every annual examination since 2021. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old van. The record shows 32,072 miles in July 2021, rising to 36,553 by July 2022, 40,347 by July 2023, 44,882 by July 2024, and 49,084 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles per year with no gaps or sudden jumps. The sparse but consistent history gives no indication of prolonged standing or heavy commercial abuse. No advisories or failures appear in the DVSA data, so the previous owner clearly kept the suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions within tolerance at each test. A clean sheet across five consecutive years suggests disciplined servicing rather than deferred upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis. MOT testers do not strip components, and structural corrosion around sills or subframes can develop between annual tests without triggering a defect. Verify the service book matches the low annual mileage and check for worn tyres or wiper blades missed by the pass results.
