2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · KF58 ASH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than way care. While the Ford Transit passed its most recent inspection in September 2025, it followed a significant failure just days prior where multiple critical safety defects were identified. The presence of advisories regarding worn brake discs and an exhaust leak in the latest pass indicates that mechanical components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure or near-failure status. At 144,945 miles over eight years, this vehicle has covered a high-average distance of approximately 18,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy usage, with over 5,000 miles recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. This rapid rate of accumulation is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age but places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which is reflected in the frequency of wear-related notes in the recent history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly, as the rear brake discs have been flagged as pitted and scored across multiple tests, and the exhaust flexi-pipe is known to leak. The failure involving structural tears in both inner front tyres suggests a history of alignment issues or significant impact damage, which the buyer should monitor for uneven wear. Additionally, the functionality of all door handles and locks should be tested, as these components have previously been points of failure due to deterioration and mechanical binding.
