2019 Ford Transit Custom 320LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · BJ69 XRG

The 2026‑03‑10 MOT at 88,487 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The sequence of tests shows a clear improvement: after a failure on 2023‑12‑08, the 2023‑12‑12 test recorded no defects, and the 2025‑03‑12 and 2026‑03‑10 tests were also clean, indicating that previous faults have been rectified and the maintenance trend is stable. The recorded mileage of 88,487 at seven years old equates to roughly 12,600 miles per year, a rate that is high for a vehicle of this age. Mileage jumps are evident: from 46,075 miles in December 2022 to 71,044 miles in December 2023, a rise of 25,000 miles in six months, followed by increments of about 8,000 miles per year in the two subsequent tests. These patterns suggest periods of low usage interspersed with intensive operation, but the overall trajectory is upward. Recurring issues centre on the braking system and tyres. The 2025‑03‑12 test noted worn, pitted or scored near and offside rear discs, while the 2022‑12‑06 test recorded brake pads worn to the wear‑indicator light. Tyre perishing and slight damage appeared in the 2022‑12‑06 and 2022‑12‑13 tests, indicating that consumable wear has not been consistently addressed. Structural concerns include the bonnet risk of inadvertent opening noted in the 2023‑12‑08 failure and the driver’s seat fore‑aft adjustment malfunction, both of which were absent from later tests. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear brake discs and pads, verify tyre tread depth and check for sidewall cracking, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, assess the bonnet latch and structural integrity for rust or damage, confirm the seat adjustment mechanism operates smoothly, and ensure the engine malfunction indicator lamp is off. These checks will verify whether the historical faults have been fully remedied.
