2020 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · YR20 AAN

This Ford Transit Custom has maintained a clean MOT history across three consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 9 July 2025 at 90,530 miles resulting in a full pass and no recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failings across all tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention. However, the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the high mileage and age. The consistent pass status implies that previous owners adhered to basic maintenance, but wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components—common failure points at this mileage—remain untested beyond the MOT’s limited scope. The recorded mileage of 90,530 miles over six years equates to approximately 15,088 miles annually, which is above the average for a commercial van of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where the vehicle accumulated 12,540 miles in just over a year, rising from 60,270 to 72,810 miles. This suggests either intensive use or extended periods of operation without intermediate servicing. The final leg from 72,810 to 90,530 miles—another 17,720 miles—was covered in under a year, reinforcing the pattern of high annual mileage. While this does not inherently indicate neglect, it does warrant scrutiny of high-wear components that may now require replacement or adjustment. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade at this usage level. The brakes—though not flagged in MOTs—should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has seen heavy braking loads. Structural integrity, including the floor pans, wheel arches, and subframe, should also be examined for corrosion, as rust can compromise load-bearing capacity. The exhaust system, particularly at the rear, should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, which could affect emissions and structural soundness. Finally, the tyres—failing twice on tread in some vehicles—should be assessed for remaining depth, sidewall integrity, and any signs of uneven wear that might indicate alignment or suspension issues.
