2022 Ford Transit Custom 340LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · BD71 HTG

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026 at 79,956 miles. Despite a failed test twelve days earlier on 13 February 2026 at 79,953 miles, the subsequent pass indicates the issue was rectified promptly. The absence of any recorded defects across the entire MOT history suggests the van has avoided significant mechanical failures or structural corrosion, maintaining a consistent standard of roadworthiness throughout its service life. Accumulating 79,956 miles over roughly four years equates to an annual average of approximately 20,000 miles, a notably high figure for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the January 2025 test at 73,116 miles and the February 2026 tests at 79,953 miles, the van covered 6,837 miles over thirteen months. This consistent usage pattern points to regular, high-intensity commercial operation rather than sporadic light use. Although the MOT record remains entirely free of advisories or defects, the high mileage and commercial application warrant a thorough physical inspection. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as high-mileage fleet vehicles often suffer from latent corrosion and uneven wear between services. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for premature deterioration caused by heavy payloads. The February 2026 failure, listed without recorded defects, demands clarification from the seller to determine whether it stemmed from an administrative error, an emissions anomaly, or an unrectified mechanical fault. Inspecting the structural integrity of the chassis and load area for rust or impact damage remains prudent given the van's working life.
