2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · BD20 FVC

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile, showing a trend of addressing immediate mechanical failures but struggling with consistent consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 95,715 miles resulted in a pass, yet the tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This indicates that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the owner is reacting to wear rather than performing proactive maintenance. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2020 model, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with the mileage increasing from 72,634 in May 2023 to 95,715 by October 2025. This steady progression suggests a vehicle used regularly for commercial or long-distance duties. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows roughly 9,700 miles covered in a year, which aligns with the high-use pattern established by the overall history. Recurring issues with braking components and tyres suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance on consumables. In May 2023, the vehicle failed due to thin brake pads on both nearside and offside rear wheels and a split nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot. Although the brake pads were addressed, the June 2023 test still noted pitted and scored rear brake discs. The reappearance of tyre wear issues in the 2025 test suggests that wheel alignment or suspension geometry may require investigation. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for any remaining disc corrosion or binding calipers. Given the previous CV boot failure, the drive shafts should be examined for grease leakage or play. Finally, the repeated tyre wear on the edges warrants a check of the suspension bushes and steering components to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from underlying alignment issues caused by the high annual mileage.
