2018 Ford Transit Custom 290TREND CLR ED 2.0L Diesel · MXZ 1396

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests recently. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 96,493 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 and September 2023, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failures. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-intensity use, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over the eight-year lifespan. There is a significant jump of 20,939 miles between February 2022 and September 2023, followed by another 11,722 miles covered between October 2024 and December 2025. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle was used regularly for commercial purposes rather than sitting idle. The failure in early September 2023 at 73,502 miles appears to be an anomaly that was rectified quickly before the passing test three weeks later. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components, as high-mileage vans frequently experience accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and the braking system. Given the mileage, checking for signs of corrosion or thinning brake discs is essential, particularly on the underbody where salt may accumulate. While the MOT record is currently clean, the high annual distance covered means that the drivetrain components and rubber mounts may be nearing the end of their service life.
