2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · WV68 FEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend toward reactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 146,384 miles, this followed an immediate failure on the same day due to multiple consumable and lighting defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a series of failures in 2025 suggests the owner is only addressing mechanical issues when prompted by the MOT tester, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The Ford Transit has accumulated significant mileage for its age, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. There is a notable spike in usage between the December 2023 test at 84,084 miles and the December 2025 test at 146,384 miles, representing over 62,000 miles in just two years. This heavy usage cycle explains the accelerated wear seen on the suspension and braking components. The rapid accumulation of miles indicates the vehicle was likely used for intensive commercial work, which places high stress on the drivetrain. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers were flagged as severely deteriorated in late 2024. The recurring issue of binding brakes noted in both 2022 and 2024 suggests a persistent problem with sticking calipers or slide pins that requires professional attention. Furthermore, the 2025 record shows all four tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven inner edge wear, which frequently points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed.
