2020 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · AK20 AEO

The March 2026 MOT at 95,823 miles confirmed that the 2020 Ford Transit Custom remains roadworthy, with only a damaged near‑side obligatory mirror (class 3.3(b)(i)) and a front tyre worn close to the legal limit (class 5.2.3(e)). No structural, suspension or brake defects were recorded, indicating that the vehicle’s maintenance has been stable rather than worsening. The mileage trajectory shows a clear acceleration in usage: the 2022 test recorded 21,717 miles, the 2023 test 53,435 miles, and the 2025 test 77,123 miles, culminating in the present 95,823 miles. This equates to an average annual mileage of roughly 15,970 miles, well above the typical 10,000‑mile benchmark for a six‑year‑old commercial van, suggesting intensive operational use and accelerated wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the tyre wear pattern, checking for uneven tread that may indicate mis‑aligned wheels or worn suspension bushes, and verify the condition of the near‑side mirror mount and surrounding bodywork for hidden damage. Examination of the brake discs, pads and calipers is advisable given the repeated tyre wear, while a thorough visual check of the wheel arches and chassis for rust or corrosion will confirm that the structural integrity remains sound despite the high annual mileage.
