2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CP19 YRJ

The 2019 Ford Transit Custom shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT test on 2 July 2025 confirming no defects at 117,964 miles. The vehicle has passed every test since May 2022, including a rare double entry in April 2023 where both a pass and a fail were recorded at the same mileage—though no defects were logged, this suggests either a clerical anomaly or a very brief retest without intervention. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear from the high annual mileage. The recorded mileage of 117,964 miles over seven years equates to approximately 16,852 miles annually, which is unusually high for a commercial van of this age. The gap between tests varies significantly: from May 2022 to April 2023, the vehicle accumulated 25,213 miles in just over a year, a rate that would strain suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components even in light-duty use. The subsequent 10,527 miles between April and July 2023—covered by two MOT entries—indicates either a temporary reduction in usage or a period of rapid turnover. The final 6,500 miles since July 2024 suggest current usage remains consistent with the vehicle’s aggressive mileage pattern. Given the high mileage and lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are likely to exhibit accelerated wear. The brakes, though not flagged in MOTs, should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Corrosion checks are essential, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and underbody seams, as prolonged exposure to road salt or poor maintenance could compromise structural integrity. The absence of advisories does not rule out minor leaks or worn consumables—tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels—so verifying these in person remains prudent. The vehicle’s history suggests it has been driven hard, so thoroughness in inspection is warranted.
