2022 Ford Transit Custom 320 Trend Mhev 2.0L Electric diesel · BN72 XOB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT test on 29 August 2025 at 84,311 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a lack of proactive care, as the vehicle failed inspection just three days prior. The tester identified an inoperative offside registration plate lamp, a failed front windscreen washer, and insufficient parking brake efficiency. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, they suggest a reactive maintenance approach rather than preventative servicing. At 84,311 miles over four years, this Ford Transit has covered an average of over 21,000 miles per year. This high mileage profile is consistent with heavy commercial use, which accelerates the wear on suspension components and braking hardware. The narrow time gap between the failure and the pass in August 2025 indicates the owner is responsive to legal testing requirements, but the high mileage means the drivetrain and chassis components are likely under significant stress. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the parking brake failed the efficiency test during the last inspection. You should check for uneven wear on the brake discs and inspect the condition of the brake cables for seizing or corrosion. Given the mileage, particular attention should also be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show signs of fatigue on high-mileage transit vans. Verify that the washer system and all lighting assemblies are fully functional, as these were previously flagged as points of failure.
