2020 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 290 SPORT EBLUE2.0L DIESEL

This Ford Transit Custom has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging over 17,000 miles annually. This high usage strongly suggests a life of hard commercial work, placing extra stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to a lower-mileage example. The MOT history shows a generally stable condition until the most recent test in April 2026. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of advisories for front brake pads wearing thin and an offside front tyre worn on the inner edge indicates a shift towards increasing wear. The clean records from 2023 and 2024 suggest the vehicle was previously well-maintained, but the high mileage is now accelerating the need for replacement parts. The specific note regarding the inner tyre edge wear is a key risk to monitor. This pattern often points to wheel alignment issues or potential suspension wear, rather than standard driving wear, which could lead to rapid tyre degradation if not rectified. Given the mileage and recent advisories, you should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and steering components to explain the tyre wear. Check the front brake pad thickness immediately, as they were already noted as thin two months ago. Finally, assess the engine and gearbox for any signs of the high strain expected from this mileage, such as oil leaks or noisy clutch operation.
