2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · LD18 BJV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 23 January 2026 at 40,082 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been addressed and rectified. While the history shows instances of failure prior to passing, the clean sheets on the last two tests suggest the current owner is proactive in resolving identified faults to maintain legal road standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Ford Transit Custom, averaging approximately 5,010 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 6,680 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 3,035 miles in the ten months leading up to the January 2026 test. This low annual usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals can sometimes lead to issues such as flat-sp tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their inspection on the components that caused the failures in March 2024 and 2025, as the provided record does not detail the specific reason for those rejections. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as rubber components can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Additionally check the brake discs for signs of pitting or binding calipers caused by low use, and inspect the undercarriage for any early-stage structural corrosion or surface rust on the chassis.
