2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · WD18 LRO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on October 20 2025 at 69,494 miles passed successfully following a failure just three days prior. That failure highlighted issues with the nearside side repeater, registration plate lamp, and insufficient parking brake efficiency. While the vehicle currently meets standards, the recurring nature of brake-related defects suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure. At 69,494 miles over eight years, the Transit has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 10,500 miles covered in the following year leading up to October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though it does explain the consistent wear observed on mechanical components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The record shows a clear trend of thinning brake pads in September 2024 followed by worn discs in October 2025. The parking brake failure in 2025 also warrants a physical check to ensure the mechanism and cables are properly adjusted and not seized. Additionally, the uneven edge wear noted on tyres in 2024 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement.
