2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YS18 AEJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-11 MOT at 49,211 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, as all tests from 2023 to 2025 resulted in passes with no recorded issues. The single 2024-09-21 failure at 43,463 miles was noted without defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or technical anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. No recurring faults or escalating risks are evident in the documented history. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,211 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,151 miles, consistent with typical light commercial vehicle operation. The MOT intervals between 2022 and 2025 are regular, with minimal gaps, indicating consistent compliance. The 100-mile discrepancy between the 2024-09-21 failure and subsequent 2024-09-25 pass raises no immediate red flags, as no defects were logged. The absence of wear-related issues in all tests suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to standard. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and commercial use. Inspect brake components, including calipers and discs, for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. While no structural rust or emission issues were recorded, a physical check of the chassis and exhaust system is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden damage. The MOT history indicates no critical failures, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential to validate the recorded compliance.
