FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 300 TREND EBLUE2020 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 July 2025 at 80,112 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the previous two years of testing. This suggests a stable maintenance regime where the owner has proactively maintained the vehicle to meet regulatory standards before issues escalated into test failures. The mileage accumulation reflects consistent usage of approximately 13,300 miles per annum, which is typical for a six-year-old commercial vehicle. Between the July 2023 test at 53,341 miles and the August 2024 test at 68,861 miles, the vehicle covered 15,520 miles, followed by another 11,251 miles prior to the July 2025 test. This steady pattern indicates the van has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal seals drying or corrosion on braking components. While the MOT record is devoid of faults, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to high-mileage wear on a Transit Custom. Specifically examine the front suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as these often show fatigue around 80,000 miles under commercial loads. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinness, and inspect the exhaust for any signs of premature corrosion that the MOT might not yet flag. Given the mileage, verifying the integrity of the chassis for structural rust remains a standard precaution to ensure the clean history carries no hidden defects.
