2023 FORD TRANSIT CUSTOM 280LEADER EBLUE2.0L Diesel

The 2026‑01‑07 MOT at 19,421 miles confirms the 2023 Ford Transit Custom 280Leader EBlue remains roadworthy, with no major mechanical failures recorded. The vehicle passed its previous test on 2025‑02‑25 at 13,092 miles without defects, indicating a stable maintenance record; the recent advisory on the off‑side wiper blade and the near‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit show only minor, non‑critical issues rather than a worsening trend. Mileage accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s three‑year age, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year. The jump from 13,092 miles in February 2025 to 19,421 miles in January 2026 represents an increase of 6,329 miles over eleven months, a pace consistent with regular commercial use and not indicative of excessive wear. A buyer should therefore focus on the items flagged in the latest test: verify the condition of the off‑side wiper linkage and replace the worn tyre, while also examining the suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of binding in the rear brakes, as these components often reveal hidden wear. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for scoring or corrosion, check the exhaust system for rust or leaks, and assess the structural integrity of the chassis for any rust‑related advisories, as the record shows no major defects but minor wear items that can affect safety and longevity.
