2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · RE18 TAM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 62,516 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability followed by a lapse in late 2024. While the vehicle previously maintained clean records, the December 2024 failure indicates a breakdown in proactive maintenance regarding consumable-related items, suggesting the previous owner only addressed necessary repairs once prompted by a test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. The vehicle progressed from 33,171 miles in December 2022 to 52,301 miles by December 2024, representing a run of nearly 19,000 miles over two years. This increase in usage followed by another 10,200 miles in the final year suggests the vehicle has seen regular use, which explains the wear observed on the braking system and tyres during that period. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the 2024 record flagged both perishing on the rear tyres and a structural cut on the offside front tyre. The perishing suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been exposed to conditions that degrade the rubber. The front inner brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2024, so a manual measurement of the remaining pad thickness and disc condition is necessary to ensure they were replaced effectively since that test. The nearside windscreen wiper failure in late 2024 was resolved, but the wiper assembly should be checked for cracks in the arm or tension. Since no structural corrosion or suspension defects were recorded across the entire history, the primary integrity of the chassis appears sound. However, the transition from clean records to a multi-fault failure highlights a need to verify the full service history to ensure oil changes and general mechanical inspections were performed alongside the MOT intervals.
