2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · AJ20 AOD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 14 August 2025 at 165,686 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive upkeep rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the failure just eight days prior on 6 August 2025 indicates that immediate repairs were required for a compromised windscreen and low coolant levels. This pattern suggests the vehicle is maintained to meet minimum legal standards rather than through a rigorous preventative schedule. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 27,600 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 96,267 miles and the August 2024 test at 134,231 miles, the van covered 37,964 miles in a single year. The subsequent year saw an even higher increase of 31,455 miles. This intensive usage pattern places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which is consistent with heavy commercial application. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the cooling system and fluid levels. The August 2024 failure noted an empty coolant bottle, and the August 2025 failure again flagged low coolant, suggesting a possible persistent leak or a history of neglected fluid checks. The 19 August 2024 test also identified worn rear brake discs and multiple punctures, so the current state of the braking components and tyre integrity should be verified. Given the high mileage, particular attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and any signs of premature wear in the drivetrain.
