2019 Ford Transit Custom 300LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · AE69 HFP

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 25 July 2025 at 88,980 miles. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the mechanical and structural condition currently meets required standards. A failed test on 7 October 2023 at 68,714 miles stands out, though the record shows no specific defects attached to that failure, suggesting either an aborted test or an administrative anomaly rather than a recurring mechanical fault. Since that date, consecutive clean passes demonstrate the van has remained roadworthy. Accumulating 88,980 miles over seven years equates to roughly 12,711 miles annually, a figure high for a typical commercial vehicle but consistent with sustained regular use rather than long periods of standing. The mileage progression reveals a notable spike between the September 2022 test at 44,888 miles and the October 2023 test at 68,714 miles, representing 23,826 miles in just over twelve months. Following this intense period of use, the mileage accumulation slowed significantly, covering only 15,933 miles between June 2024 and July 2025. This pattern suggests the previous owner relied heavily on the van for a specific period before reducing its workload. Despite the absence of recurring faults in the MOT record, the high mileage and commercial nature of the Ford Transit Custom demand a rigorous physical inspection. Buyers should scrutinize the structural integrity of the chassis and load area, checking for corrosion or cracking common in hard-working vans. The suspension bushes and coil springs require close examination for wear, given the rapid mileage accumulation recorded between 2022 and 2023. Brake discs and calipers must be inspected for binding or uneven wear, while the exhaust system and DPF should be assessed for signs of excessive soot or regeneration issues typical of high-mileage diesel engines.
