2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · BK22 GKG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in March 2026 at 95,808 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just three days prior. While the immediate safety concern regarding the weakened seat belt webbing was addressed, the persistence of a missing nearside fuel cap cover and damaged offside mirror across multiple tests suggests the owner only addresses defects when they directly threaten an MOT pass result. The Ford Transit has accumulated significantly high mileage for its four-year age, averaging approximately 24,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 17,860 miles in just twelve months, indicating heavy commercial use or frequent long-distance commuting. This rate of travel places considerable stress on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system. The consistent interval between annual tests suggests a regular schedule, but the high mileage accelerates wear on consumable parts. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the tester flagged the offside rear inner brake disc as worn in March 2026. Given the mileage, the remaining life on all discs and pads is likely limited. You should also verify the windscreen wiper blades and headlamp alignment, as these were failure points in 2025 and indicate a lack of attention to minor maintenance items. Furthermore, check the suspension for play or perished rubber, as high-mileage vans often suffer accelerated degradation of arms and shocks.
