2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · WA63 MTH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 178,861 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories or failures over several years, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is significantly high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 22,000 miles per year. The odometer shows a steady increase from 132,093 miles in September 2022 to 178,861 miles by February 2026. This indicates the van has been used heavily for long-distance work, which typically puts more stress on the drivetrain and suspension than urban stop-start driving. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must physically inspect the vehicle for wear associated with nearly 180,000 miles. High-mileage Transit Customs often develop play in the suspension bushes and wear in the coil springs. You should check for any signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, as these are common failure points that may not be captured if the vehicle was cleaned prior to testing. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for thinning, as the record does not list these consumables. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical components will likely be due for a change given the total mileage. A manual check of the clutch bite point and gearbox smoothness is recommended to ensure the drivetrain has handled the heavy usage without excessive degradation.
