2017 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM2.0L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health according to the most recent MOT records. The test conducted on 16 January 2025 at 36,328 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. While the record shows a simultaneous failure and pass on that date, the absence of listed defects suggests this was likely a minor administrative error or a re-test performed immediately after a rectifiable issue, such as a blown bulb or missing registration plate, was resolved. This Ford Transit Custom has covered 36,328 miles over nine years, averaging approximately 4,036 miles annually. This low mileage suggests the van has seen light usage rather than heavy commercial deployment. The consistent annual testing pattern from January 2022 through January 2025 confirms the vehicle has remained in regular service without significant periods of inactivity. The lack of recurring advisories across these four years is an encouraging sign that the previous owner prioritized routine upkeep. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from lack of use rather than high mileage wear. Since the van has spent much of its life stationary, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding. Inspect the suspension bushes and rubber gaiters for signs of perishing or cracking due to age, as these components often degrade faster when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Verify the condition of the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, and confirm that the engine bay shows no signs of fluid leaks or perished coolant hoses that can occur during long intervals of sitting idle.
