2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · PF18 AAE

This Ford Transit Custom presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 February 2026 at 107,194 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,399 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between January 2025 and February 2026, where the odometer rose from 87,053 to 107,194 miles. This jump of over 20,000 miles in just over a year indicates a period of heavy commercial use. The gap between June 2022 and January 2024 shows a steady climb from 44,525 to 68,533 miles. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. The absence of advisories is positive, but the heavy usage suggests the drivetrain and suspension bushes may be nearing the end of their service life. A buyer should specifically check for play in the steering rack and the condition of the coil springs, as these often degrade under high-mileage commercial loads without necessarily triggering an immediate MOT failure. Attention should also be paid to the brake discs and pads. While the tester found no defects in February 2026, the rapid mileage increase over the last year likely accelerated the wear of these consumables. Checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is standard for a vehicle of this age, regardless of the clean test record, to ensure no surface rust has developed in areas the tester may have overlooked.
