2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YJ68 RYA

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the March 10 2025 MOT, passing with a recorded mileage of 44,506 miles. The tester flagged a damaged off‑side upper windscreen and a split nearside wiper blade, both recorded as advisories rather than failures. Recurring windscreen damage across three consecutive annual tests points to a minor but persistent issue, while no other mechanical or structural faults have emerged, indicating an overall stable maintenance trend. At eight years old the Transit has accumulated 44,506 miles, averaging roughly 5,500 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a vehicle of its class. Mileage rose from 20,621 miles in March 2022 to 28,402 miles in March 2023, then to 37,255 miles in March 2024, and reached 44,506 miles in March 2025, reflecting consistent annual increments of 7–9 k miles and no unexplained gaps. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the windscreen condition; verify that the existing crack does not impair visibility and that the glass is free of stress fractures that could propagate. Inspect the nearside wiper blade mechanism for proper operation and replace the split blade. Although the MOT record shows no suspension, brake, or corrosion advisories, a visual and functional check of suspension bushes, brake discs, and under‑body for any hidden rust remains prudent.
