2020 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 320LMTD EBLUE A2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of deferred consumable replacements. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 26,520 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple issues including pitted and scored front brake discs, thin inner brake pads, and sidewall damage on the nearside rear outer tyre. These faults indicate that the previous owner waited for an MOT failure or significant visual wear rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,420 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage of roughly 5,000 miles between tests, such as the increase of 5,281 miles recorded between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 5,562 miles in the following year. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can also lead to degradation of rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the December 2024 test at 20,958 miles flagged the front tyres as worn on the inner edges. This typically indicates a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that will rapidly consume new rubber if not addressed. Furthermore, the pitted brake discs and thin pads noted in the 2025 test require verification that they have since been replaced to ensure consistent stopping performance. Checking the sidewalls of all tyres is essential to ensure the damage noted on the nearside rear has not resulted in structural failure of the tyre carcass.
