2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · WF68 OKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 26 September 2025 at 123,321 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern of repair where the owner addresses specific faults only upon an MOT failure. While the most recent test only flagged a minor cosmetic defect to the mirror, the previous failure one day prior indicates that mechanical components were reaching the end of service. The status is stable for now but reflects a lack of proactive preventative maintenance. At 123,321 miles over eight years, this Ford Transit Custom has averaged approximately 15,400 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with light commercial use but suggests accelerated wear on heavy-duty components. Between October 2023 at 83,548 miles and October 2024 at 103,418 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation puts significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems compared to a lower-mileage passenger vehicle. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front-end assembly, specifically the offside front drive shaft. The CV boot failed in October 2024 and remained an issue until September 2025, suggesting the repair was either not fully executed or the joint is now failing. The offside front lower suspension arm ball joint also showed play in 2024, so the buyer should check for excessive movement or audible knocks in the steering geometry. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of all rubber bushings and the condition of the rear mounting points is essential to ensure no hidden structural fatigue has developed.
