2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · MK68 LWH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 23 October 2025 at 99,756 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without allowing any recurring mechanical failures or structural issues manifest over the last five years. The mileage pattern shows a significant acceleration in usage over the last three years. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the vehicle covered approximately 12,851 miles. However, between September 2022 and October 2024, the mileage jumped by 43,064 miles, followed by another 28,670 miles in the final year. This average of over 12,400 miles per year suggests the Transit has transitioned from light use to a heavy-duty commercial role, which naturally places higher mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. While the electronic record is devoid of recorded faults, the physical inspection must focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which often degrade under heavy loads. Given the recent mileage accumulation, checking the thickness of the brake discs and looking for signs of caliper binding is also essential. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion on the chassis mounting points to ensure that the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural integrity of the van.
