2022 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 320LMTD EBLUE A2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 61,173 miles resulted in a pass just one day after a failure. While the owner addressed the immediate failure points regarding front tyre tread depth, the record shows recurring advisories for damage to both rear tyres. This suggests a trend where essential components are only replaced once they threaten to fail the legal test standard. At 61,173 miles over four years, this Ford Transit Custom has averaged approximately 15,300 miles per annum. This mileage profile is consistent with heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension-related components and braking systems. The narrow gap between the failure on 2 September and the pass on 3 September shows that the vehicle was capable of immediate rectification, but the high mileage implies that the vehicle is under significant mechanical stress and requires more frequent service intervals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the remaining tyre set, as the damage to the nearside and offside rear tyres noted in September 2025 may indicate poor alignment or previous impact damage to the sidewalls. Given the high mileage and the commercial nature of the vehicle, it is vital to inspect the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking. You should also check the brake discs and pads for thinning or scoring, as the MOT record does not detail the state of these consumables which are likely worn from high-mileage urban use.
