2020 Ford Transit Custom 290SPRT Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · EN69 ENX

The latest MOT test conducted on 17 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and positive, as the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections. While the December 2024 test noted wear on the front brake pads and tyres, the subsequent clean pass suggests that these consumable items were addressed, indicating a consistent level of upkeep. The recorded mileage of 89,698 miles over approximately six years represents an annual average of nearly 15,000 miles. This is considered high usage for this vehicle type, which typically implies a commercial duty cycle. Such mileage accumulation leads to accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems compared to a vehicle used for light or occasional duties, necessitating a more critical evaluation of the mechanical longevity of these parts. Given the previous advisories regarding front brake pad thickness and tyre edge wear, the buyer should verify that these components have been replaced and not merely patched. During a test drive, listen for any metallic grinding or squealing from the brakes and feel for any shudder through the pedal under deceleration. Carefully inspect the current front tyre treads for uneven wear patterns, as this often points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes and ball joints, which are common wear points on high-mileage Transit Customs. Beyond the MOT records, the high mileage necessitates a thorough review of the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed strictly according to the manufacturer's schedule. The buyer should physically inspect the suspension coil springs for corrosion or fractures and check the dampers for signs of fluid leakage. Additionally, check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and the alternator, as the high operational hours associated with this mileage can lead to premature electrical system degradation.
