2020 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · CF69 DAU

The 2020 Ford Transit Custom 280 Limited presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 December 2025 at 76,597 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVLA test on that date shows a prior failed attempt logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the van met statutory standards. No advisories or defects appear on any test in the chain. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,766 miles per year against a six-year-old vehicle, a high but not abnormal figure for a light commercial. The records show 55,079 miles on 31 January 2023, 61,752 on 6 December 2023, 69,554 on 4 December 2024, and 76,597 on 1 December 2025. The jump between January and December 2023 reflects a test brought forward by eleven months; from then the yearly accumulation held near 7,800 to 8,000 miles. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous operator kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual use and commercial loading cycles these vans endure. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet six years of fleet-style duty can hide fatigue not visible at a test centre. Verify the 1 December 2025 fail-and-pass pair with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed advisory exists. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition before collection, as these fall outside MOT failure only when severely worn. The absence of recorded defects implies disciplined upkeep, but the mileage demands scrutiny of drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions under load.
