FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 300LIMITD EBLUE2022 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a decline in proactive care. While the Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on January 6 2026 at 79,618 miles, it failed the same test hours prior due to multiple lighting and braking defects. The requirement to rectify registration plate lamps and worn rear brake components to pass suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by an inspection failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 59,642 miles and the January 2026 test, the vehicle covered 19,976 miles in exactly twelve months. This rapid accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial fleet use, which accelerates the wear of high-stress components such as suspension bushings, bushes, and drivetrain assemblies compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The January 2026 record flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs along with thin offside rear pads, indicating the rear assembly is reaching the end of its functional life. Given the high mileage, the inspector should also check for uneven pad wear or binding calipers that could lead to the observed disc scoring. Evaluation of the suspension geometry and the condition of the coil springs is also essential, as the high annual mileage places significant strain on the chassis integrity of a Transit Custom.
