2022 Ford Transit Custom 290SPRT Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · 9 UUY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. While the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 67,045 miles passed, it returned with advisories for both nearside and offside rear tyres being worn to the legal limit with uneven edges. This suggests a trend where components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds rather than being replaced during scheduled maintenance intervals. The vehicle has accumulated significant mileage for its four-year age, averaging approximately 16,700 miles per year. Between the February 2025 test at 48,603 miles and the February 2026 test, the van covered 18,442 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of use places consistent strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The data record shows a steady pattern of heavy-duty usage which explains the accelerated wear patterns observed across the braking and tyre systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The uneven wear noted on the rear tyres in the 2026 test often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which require immediate attention. Given that the 2025 test flagged thin brake pads on all axles, it is vital to verify that these were actually replaced and that the brake discs show no signs of excessive scoring or thinning. Check the shock absorbers and control arms for physical play to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to premature degradation of the chassis-related hardware.
