2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YR68 BUW

This Ford Transit Custom presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 89,704 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the common degradation typically seen in commercial vans. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with expected usage for an eight year old vehicle. Between the January 2023 test at 55,737 miles and the March 2024 test at 70,009 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 14,272 miles. This represents the highest annual increase in the record, yet the vehicle continued to pass without advisories. The current odometer reading of 89,704 miles confirms an average annual distance of approximately 11,213 miles, suggesting regular use without excessive idling or prolonged periods of standing. The complete absence of advisories across five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age and type. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion appear in the history. The record shows no evidence of structural rust or exhaust emissions failures, which often plague older Transit models. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure but affect long term reliability. Check the condition of the clutch and gearbox synchronization, as these are high stress components in vans. Inspect the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items not captured by the MOT process. Given the clean record, the buyer should primarily verify that the oil change intervals have been adhered to.
