2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · HT18 AEK

The 2025‑08‑27 MOT at 84,310 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness is satisfactory and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage has increased by roughly 9,500 miles each year since the 2021 test, moving from 36,231 miles in August 2021 to 84,310 miles in August 2025, a pattern that aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old van and shows no evidence of long standing periods or abrupt mileage spikes. Recurring tyre issues, including a near‑side front tyre with sub‑standard tread depth at 51,807 miles in 2022 and a near‑side rear nail in 2021, suggest previous owners allowed tyre wear to approach the legal limit and may have postponed replacement, while the 2024 windscreen damage, though noted, did not affect the driver’s view. A buyer should therefore examine tyre condition and tread depth, inspect the windscreen for any hidden cracks or repairs, and conduct a detailed check of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, as well as look for any structural rust or corrosion that could develop after the recent pass.
