2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · CE20 RLY

This Ford Transit Custom demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 14 August 2025 at 84,212 miles resulting in a clean pass and no advisories. The consistency across all tests—including the unusual back-to-back June 2023 tests at 75,729 and 75,730 miles—suggests no recurring mechanical failures or advisory-level issues were recorded. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; the vehicle’s age and mileage demand thorough inspection of high-stress components. The recorded mileage of 84,212 miles over five years indicates an average of approximately 14,000 miles annually, which is elevated for a commercial van of this age. The most significant gap between tests occurs between the June 2023 and September 2023 MOTs, where the vehicle accumulated 949 miles in just under three months—a rapid increase that could imply heavy usage or inconsistent servicing. No failures or advisories during this period suggest the vehicle was driven within its operational limits, though the accelerated mileage may have accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes—though never flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arch protection, warrants scrutiny, as does the exhaust system for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, given the van’s age and mileage. The lack of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are intact, and visual confirmation is essential.
