2016 Ford Transit Custom 2.2L Diesel · CU16 EBL

The most recent MOT was on 2026-03-27 — just under three months ago — and the vehicle passed with one advisory: the offside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and shows edge wear. This is the only recorded defect in the last five years beyond a single rear tyre nail in 2023. There is no recurring mechanical pattern across the MOT history. The vehicle has passed every test since 2022 without failures or repeat advisories. The sole exception is the current front tyre issue — isolated, not repeated on other wheels or in prior years. The condition trend is stable. No new defects have emerged over time; the 2025 and 2024 tests were clean, and even the 2023 nail was minor and resolved. The latest advisory is low-risk but timely — it signals the need for imminent tyre replacement, not underlying suspension or alignment failure (though those should be ruled out). At 55,858 miles and nearly 10 years old, this van averages just under 5,600 miles per year — well below typical commercial use. That suggests either light duty, private ownership, or intermittent use.
