FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 300LMTD EBLUE A2020 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-06-06 at 120,977 miles, but the test revealed multiple minor faults including defective side repeater lenses, a damaged nearside rear lamp, and a slightly distorted offside front wheel. These issues align with recurring lighting and tyre-related problems seen in prior tests, suggesting a maintenance trend of partial neglect. The preceding MOT on 2026-05-22 resulted in a failure, highlighting more severe concerns such as tyres with exposed ply, a cracked windscreen, and uneven tyre wear. While the latest pass indicates some corrective action, the persistence of lighting defects and the recent failure imply ongoing issues with component upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 120,977 miles over six years equates to an average of 20,163 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This rapid accumulation is evident in the 2025-05-20 test at 105,829 miles, which showed a slightly damaged nearside rear tyre, and the 2026-05-22 failure at 120,504 miles, where multiple tyres were near or below legal limits. The interval between MOTs has remained consistent at approximately 12 months, but the sharp increase in mileage from 83,915 in 2024 to 120,977 in 2026 suggests heightened usage, potentially accelerating wear on brakes, suspension, and tyres. Recurring faults point to areas requiring physical inspection. The persistent side repeater lens defects and windscreen cracks indicate possible electrical or glass damage, while the tyre issues demand scrutiny of tread depth, alignment, and wheel balance. The 2026 test’s mention of a distorted front wheel warrants checking for suspension bushings, track rods, or coil spring integrity. Additionally, the 2025 test noted thin front inner brake pads, necessitating a brake system evaluation. Structural rust or corrosion is not mentioned in the records, but the high mileage and frequent tyre wear suggest the buyer should assess underbody condition and brake disc thickness.
