FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 290 LTD E-TECH2016 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 September 2025 at 101,975 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 11,326 miles between the July 2022 and August 2023 tests, followed by an 15,331-mile interval between August 2024 and September 2025. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent workloads rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of seals and mechanical components. The single failure recorded on 4 August 2023 at 78,490 miles, occurring just six days before a successful retest, indicates a minor issue that was rectified immediately without becoming a chronic mechanical trend. Because no advisories were noted in the last three tests, a buyer should still focus a physical inspection on high-wear areas common to the Transit Custom of this mileage. Particular attention is required regarding the condition of the suspension bushes, the integrity of the coil springs, and the state of the brake discs, as these components often show signs of fatigue before they appear on an MOT certificate.
