2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · MM18 CMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 August 2025 at 182,496 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean results across the last five annual tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical issues from escalating into MOT failures. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 22,800 miles per annum over its eight years. A significant surge in usage occurred between September 2024 at 153,908 miles and August 2025 at 182,496 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 29,000 miles in under a year. Conversely, the period between 2022 and 2023 saw much lower accumulation of only 2,855 miles. This fluctuating usage pattern often places uneven stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. Given the high mileage, an in-person inspection must focus on components most susceptible to heavy-duty wear. The buyer should scrutinize the suspension assembly for signs of perished bushes or worn coil springs, as the high mileage likely accelerates these fatigue cycles. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or excessive disc wear, though the MOT record shows no prior failures. Structural integrity of the chassis must be verified for corrosion, ensuring that the high-mileage operation has not led to undetected metal fatigue.
