2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YH18 ABN

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 147,135 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the recorded history. The single failure on 28 October 2024 at 132,504 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault-based failure. The van has covered roughly 18,392 miles per year, totalling 147,135 miles over eight years of use. Mileage climbed from 91,498 at the 18 November 2022 test to 111,945 by 29 November 2023, then to 132,504 by 28 October 2024, and 147,135 by September 2025. This reflects steady, high commercial use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean record across all dated tests suggests consistent basic maintenance, though the sparse entries give limited visibility of wear between annual inspections. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and light-duty van loading cycles. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the MOT data is favourable, but eight years of heavy use will have stressed drivetrain components not captured by pass results alone. Pre-purchase checks should include measuring rear brake caliper operation, examining exhaust emissions under load, and verifying tyre sidewall condition beyond minimum legal tread. The repeated clean tests imply previous owners kept the vehicle to test standard, yet no history of consumable replacement is recorded, so budget for imminent wear-item servicing.
