2023 Ford Transit Custom 340 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · AF23 UXV

The 2026‑07‑07 MOT at 77,129 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards and the maintenance trend appears stable. The mileage profile shows a 2023 registration with 77,129 miles accumulated by July 2026, averaging roughly 25,710 miles per year, a rate higher than typical for a three‑year‑old van. The record shows little usage between the April 17 and April 24 tests, both logged at 73,448 miles, and a subsequent increase of 3,681 miles by the July test, suggesting intensive recent use. Recurring faults flagged in the earlier tests include rear brake discs showing wear, pads below 1.5 mm, a track‑rod end ball joint with excessive play, and off‑side stop lamps that were non‑functional, while both front tyres exhibited edge wear close to the legal limit. These items point to potential suspension bush or coil‑spring fatigue, binding rear calipers, and tyre tread degradation that a buyer should verify. A practical inspection should focus on the condition of the rear brake assembly, the integrity of the suspension linkage and steering components, the functionality of all stop lamps, and the tread depth and wear pattern of the tyres, as these were the primary concerns highlighted in the MOT history.
