2018 Ford Transit Custom 300 Limited Diesel · IEZ 567

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 April 2025 at 76,561 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across multiple years suggests that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to repairs, preventing mechanical or structural issues from reaching the point of an official MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,570 miles per annum. Between the October 2021 test at 30,725 miles and the April 2025 test at 76,561 miles, the van covered 45,836 miles, indicating a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive strain. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows a slight increase in usage but the interval remains regular, which helps mitigate the degradation associated with vehicles that sit idle for long intervals. While the digital record shows no recurring faults like structural rust or brake-related issues, a physical inspection should still focus on high-wear components typical of the Transit Custom. Given the 76,000-mile mark, the buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking, as these often show wear before a failure. The state of the brake discs and pads should also be checked for thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these consumables unless they present an immediate safety risk.
