2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · ML18 UDW

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 April 2025 at 113,026 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The duplicate 23 April 2022 entries at 73,534 miles show a fail and pass logged on the same day with no defects cited, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 14,128 miles, high for an eight-year-old van but consistent with light commercial use. The records show steady accumulation: 73,534 miles in April 2022, 93,085 by April 2023, 103,716 by April 2024, and 113,026 by April 2025. No standing gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across every test suggests the previous operator kept on top of consumables and avoided letting advisories stack up. With no advisories or defects ever flagged, the MOT history gives no signal of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion needing attention. A buyer should still confirm in person that the absence of recorded faults matches reality, given high annual mileage wears steering joints, drivetrain mounts, and exhaust emissions components that a pass does not always expose. Inspect underneath for early rust on chassis rails and sills, check brake calipers for binding after a road test, and verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. The clean record implies disciplined upkeep, but the 113,026-mile figure means mechanical fatigue is a matter of time rather than if.
