2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · CT19 ETR

The 2019 Ford Transit Custom remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-06-23 at 54,170 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2024-07-05 at 45,999 miles—just three days earlier—suggests potential inconsistency in maintenance. Despite the lack of recorded defects in both tests, the rapid succession of a failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the reliability of the testing process or unresolved issues. The vehicle’s overall trend appears stable, but the 2024-07-05 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether corrective action was taken. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 7,739 miles annually. A notable gap between 2023-03-18 (37,674 miles) and 2023-08-18 (38,186 miles) indicates minimal usage over five months, while subsequent increases to 46,003 miles by 2024-07-08 reflect steady operation. The 2024-07-05 failure occurred just 4 miles after the prior test, suggesting either a technical anomaly or a brief period of neglect. The absence of defects in later tests implies resolution, but the sparse data limits definitive conclusions about long-term wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these often degrade with high usage. Structural integrity, especially under the chassis and body panels, merits attention to rule out corrosion or fatigue. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the 2024-07-05 failure underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify that all systems function reliably.
