2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · AD19 EKT

The Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 62,445 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing its latest examination cleanly after two earlier failed attempts in prior years that also recorded no defects. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at test rather than escalating mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 62,445 miles against a 2019 build, equating to roughly 8,921 miles annually and reflecting typical light-commercial use for the age. The history shows a flat line between 22 January 2024 (46,517 miles) and 21 January 2025 (46,548 miles), a gain of just 31 miles, before jumping to 46,567 miles on 24 January 2025 and then to 62,445 by January 2026. Such a plateau followed by a 15,878-mile year suggests the van stood idle or was barely used for a stretch, then re-entered regular service. The sparse, defect-free record gives little grounds for concern on paper. The repeated failures on 19 January 2026 and 21 January 2025, both with zero defects cited, point to documentation or identification discrepancies rather than worn tyres, binding calipers, or failed emissions. A buyer should still verify the V5C, test certificate references, and confirm the vehicle presented matches DVSA records. Given the low early mileage and subsequent ramp-up, inspect suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion for signs of standing damp or sudden hard use. In person, check structural integrity at chassis rails and spring mounts, and confirm tyre dates and tread after the mileage surge. The clean advisories across all five tests mean no outstanding consumable warnings, but a seven-year-old van with a dormant period warrants a hands-on look at drivetrain seals and exhaust condition before purchase.
