2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · PX68 MOU

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 108,520 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Across the four subsequent annual examinations from October 2022 to September 2025, the vehicle cleared every test without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the period reviewed. The only blemish is a failed test on 30 September 2022 at 55,169 miles, reversed three days later on 3 October 2022 at identical mileage with a pass and no defects logged, which suggests an administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious fault. The mileage pattern shows high use for an eight-year-old van. It covered 55,169 miles by October 2022, then 70,107 by October 2023, 84,952 by September 2024, and 108,520 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 13,500 miles per year, with the largest single-year jump of 23,568 miles between September 2024 and September 2025 pointing to heavier recent commercial duty. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing clean sheets throughout, so no wear trends on consumables or structure are evidenced in the record itself. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and the 23,000-mile year just recorded. The 2022 fail with no defects listed offers no clue to component condition, but the absence of advisories across passes means corrosion, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity were acceptable to testers at each date. Given the van's age and mileage, verify the service history for drivetrain intervals and check for underlying rust at chassis mounting points not visible in an MOT bay. The record implies previous owners kept the Transit tested and compliant, yet the rapid late mileage demands scrutiny of fatigue-prone items before purchase.
