2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · WE55 RPR

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by a single MOT failure recorded in August 2023 at 69,686 miles, which occurred after the most recent successful test in August 2025. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained its safety standards since the 2023 test, suggesting a lack of consistent maintenance or a significant period of inactivity. The failure date is chronologically distant from the current date of 2026-06-18, placing the vehicle well outside the typical safety window for a 2018 model. The mileage accumulation pattern is uneven, with the most recent test at 114,238 miles showing no defects, while the previous three tests were all passed. This gap between the most recent successful test and the most recent failure creates a distinct risk profile where the vehicle has not undergone a full rebuild or major inspection since the 2025 test. The rapid mileage increase from 69,686 to 114,238 miles suggests that the vehicle has been driven for several years without any recorded servicing, which is a critical indicator of potential wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts. Given the specific failures and the lack of recent maintenance history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle personally for binding rear brakes, binding suspension bushings, and structural corrosion. The history of passing tests followed by a failure in August 2023 strongly implies that the vehicle may have suffered from binding calipers or binding rear brakes, which are common causes for such MOT failures. A thorough inspection is required to determine if these mechanical issues are present or if they are merely indicative of minor consumable wear that has not been addressed.
