2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · 8 JB

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 August 2025, though the presence of specific advisories indicates a maintenance trend that is transitioning from routine monitoring to required mechanical intervention. While the vehicle met the legal requirements at the time of testing, the recorded advisories regarding braking components and tyre wear suggest that the wear-and-tear cycle for consumables is reaching a critical point. This indicates that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the owner will soon face upcoming maintenance costs to rectify these noted issues to maintain safety and legal compliance. The recorded mileage of 38,358 miles over a four-year period represents an annual usage rate of approximately 9,600 miles, which is consistent with typical light commercial vehicle usage. This moderate mileage profile suggests that the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage stress, nor has it suffered from the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity, such as brake seizure or fluid contamination. Consequently, you should expect the major mechanical components to be in a reasonable state of repair, though standard consumable items like suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres will be showing expected signs of age and use. During your inspection and test drive, you must pay particular attention to the braking system and steering stability. The advisory regarding thin front brake pads means you should listen for any high-pitched squealing or grinding noises during deceleration and feel for any pulsation through the brake pedal, which could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Furthermore, the offside front tyre being worn on the edge is a strong indicator of potential wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues. You should inspect the tyre for uneven tread depletion and check the condition of the track rod ends, tie rod ends, and wishbone bushes for excessive play. If the vehicle pulls to one side or the steering feels imprecise, a professional four-wheel alignment and a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension assembly will be necessary to prevent further premature tyre wear and ensure safe handling.
