2018 Ford Transit Custom 270 Trend 2.0L Heavy oil · J29 KNO

The 2026-03-06 MOT at 99,335 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and reflecting a stable maintenance trend. All preceding tests from 2021 through 2025 also returned pass results with zero defects, indicating consistent upkeep without major mechanical failures. The mileage trajectory shows accelerated use in the last two years: from 72,772 miles on 8 February 2024 to 87,043 miles on 28 February 2025, an increase of 14,271 miles in twelve months, followed by a further 12,292 miles to the March 2026 test. Earlier intervals, such as the 2021‑2022 period, grew more gradually, adding roughly 8,800 miles over a year. At eight years old, the 99,335‑mile total equates to about 12,400 miles per year, a rate higher than typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests heightened wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and drivetrain components. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or binding, examine brake discs and calipers for scoring or seized pistons, and check the chassis and wheel arches for rust that could compromise structural integrity. Exhaust emission levels should be verified against the latest test, and the condition of the exhaust system inspected for corrosion or leaks. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition are also worth confirming, as they indicate basic upkeep despite the high mileage.
