2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YT68 AWJ

The 2018 Ford Transit Custom remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT result, which passed on 2025-10-20 at 82,899 miles. However, a prior failed test on 2025-10-17 at 82,897 miles—without recorded defects—suggests an anomaly in the testing process or a minor issue resolved swiftly. No structural, braking, or suspension faults were flagged in the history, indicating the vehicle has maintained acceptable mechanical integrity over its lifespan. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, with 82,899 miles at 8 years old, averaging 10,362 miles annually—a typical rate for this age. MOT tests were conducted at regular intervals, with the longest gap between 2023-07-18 (64,636 miles) and 2024-07-23 (77,592 miles), reflecting standard maintenance practices. No rapid mileage surges or extended inactivity periods are evident, which reduces concerns about undue wear on components like tyres, brakes, or the drivetrain. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these are common failure points in commercial vans of this era. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in MOT records is reassuring, but a physical inspection of the exhaust system and underbody is recommended to confirm no hidden damage. The recent failed test without defects warrants inquiry, though no recurring issues are documented to suggest systemic neglect.
