2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · MA68 MXT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 17 September 2025 at 75,447 miles which returned no recorded defects. This indicates that the van is currently maintained to a standard that meets all legal and safety requirements. The maintenance trend suggests a consistent approach to care, with no recurring structural or mechanical failures recorded across the inspection history. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between September 2023 (47,776 miles) and September 2025 (75,447 miles), the vehicle covered 27,671 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The interval of roughly 9,600 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests further confirms the van has not been subjected to unusual heavy loading or long periods of stationary neglect. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the September 2024 test at 57,443 miles flagged thin front brake pads. While this was resolved by the 2025 test, the buyer should verify the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the discs for any excessive scoring or pitting. Given the age of the Transit Custom, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable, as these components often show accelerated wear on this model despite a clean MOT record.
