2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YR18 ABK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection without any defects in January 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the van has secured three consecutive passes since its last failure. While a failure was recorded in early April 2024, the immediate rectification suggests that mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle has maintained a cleanion for the past two years. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging 15,800 miles per year. There was a significant surge in activity between April 2023 and January 2025, where the van covered over 23,000 miles in under twenty months. Since then, the accumulation has slowed to a more moderate pace of roughly 9,000 miles over the last fourteen months. This consistent high mileage suggests the vehicle was likely used for long-distance transit or heavy work, which places consistent stress on the drivetrain and heavy-duty components. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as high-mileage Ford Transit models frequently experience wear on bushes, shocks, and brake discs. Given the high mileage, it is also essential to check for structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody, which is common in commercial vans of this age. Although the recent MOT history is clean, the volume of travel necessitates a check of the clutch, way, and turbo components to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
