2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · WD18 AFN

The 2025‑10‑31 MOT at 109,262 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Transit Custom remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The alternating pass/fail sequence over the previous two years shows no persistent mechanical failures; each retest after a failure resulted in a pass, indicating that any identified issues were rectified before the next inspection and that the maintenance trend is currently stable. The mileage trajectory reflects steady use: from 91,336 miles in October 2023 to 101,556 miles by October 2024 the vehicle covered roughly 10,200 miles in eleven months, and another 7,700 miles in the following year, averaging about 13,600 miles annually, which is high for an eight‑year‑old van. No extended periods of zero mileage are evident, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular circulation. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the binding condition of the rear brakes and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, as high annual mileage accelerates wear on these components. Check the structural integrity of the chassis and any rust‑prone areas, especially around the wheel arches and sills, since the record shows no explicit corrosion advisories but long‑term use can conceal developing rust. Finally, verify the condition of consumables such as tyre tread, wiper blades and brake pads, which the MOT history does not detail but which are likely to have been replaced given the mileage; the absence of recorded defects suggests previous owners maintained the vehicle adequately, though a physical inspection is essential to confirm current mechanical health.
