2022 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · AO22 YNT

Tyre wear that is already flirting with the legal minimum on all four corners, together with a modest front‑right service‑brake binding note, dominate the current MOT picture; the test on 13 April 2026 was passed but flagged these issues, while the previous test in May 2025 recorded no defects, indicating a generally stable roadworthiness record apart from the emerging tyre and brake concerns. At 44 850 mi the vehicle averages roughly 11 200 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits squarely within normal commercial‑van usage for a 2022 model. The MOT history shows no prolonged gaps, suggesting the odometer reading reflects continuous operation rather than long periods of storage. This level of use is sufficient to explain the tyre tread depletion and the slight brake‑binding symptom, both of which tend to accelerate as cumulative miles climb past the 40 000 mi mark. Prospective buyers should inspect each tyre for tread depth below 1.6 mm, sidewall cracks, or cupping, and verify that the wear pattern is even across the tread width. On a test drive, feel for any vibration or pulsation through the steering wheel that could indicate uneven tyre wear or a developing imbalance, and listen for road‑noise that might betray a compromised sidewall. Given the advisory, budgeting for a full tyre set replacement in the near term is prudent. The front‑right service‑brake binding advisory warrants a focused check of the brake pedal feel, looking for any sponginess, excessive travel, or a pull to one side when the pedal is applied. During a slow‑speed stop, listen for any squeal or grinding that could signal a sticking caliper or worn pad, and observe whether the disc surface shows uneven scoring. A visual inspection of the brake hose, caliper mounting pins and the disc for corrosion or excessive wear will help confirm whether the binding is a minor adjustment issue or a sign of deeper component fatigue that should be addressed before the next MOT.
