2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · MM18 COU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 5 June 2025 at 135,965 miles which passed with no defects. This indicates that the van is currently meeting minimum legal standards for road use. While a failure was recorded on 10 June 2024, the immediate re-test the following day suggests the issue was either minor and easily rectified or that the owner was proactive in addressing the flagged fault instantly. The mileage data reflects high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the vehicle covered 23,441 miles, followed by a further increase of 25,109 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This consistent, high mileage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for heavy daily work, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension assemblies. The lack of gaps in testing indicates regular operation without long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the components most susceptible to high-mileage Ford Transit wear. Given the mileage, the buyer must examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop arms for signs of fatigue or tearing. The braking system requires a check for thin discs and seized caliper pistons, as high-mileage vans often suffer thermal stress on hardware. Additionally, a close look at the chassis for structural corrosion or corrosion is vital to ensure that the high annual mileage has not compromised the integrity of the vehicle frame.
