2020 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · CV20 BWJ

The 2020 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 6 September 2025 at 53,110 miles. The absence of any recorded defects in this latest test indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. A minor anomaly exists in the record from 26 February 2024, where a failed test at 38,503 miles shows no recorded defects, likely representing an aborted test or an administrative discrepancy rather than a mechanical failure, given the immediate re-test passed on the same day. Overall, the mechanical condition appears well-maintained and consistent. The vehicle has covered 53,110 miles over roughly six years, averaging approximately 8,852 miles per year, which falls within typical usage parameters for a commercial van. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation pattern. Between the February 2023 test at 34,219 miles and the February 2024 tests at 38,503 miles, the van covered 4,284 miles over twelve months. The subsequent eighteen months until the September 2025 test saw a slightly higher accumulation of 14,607 miles, suggesting increased recent usage or a shift toward more regular long-distance driving. No significant gaps in the MOT record indicate the vehicle has remained in continuous service. Despite the entirely clean MOT record with zero advisories, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the structural and mechanical components typical of a commercial vehicle at this mileage. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these degrade steadily under load regardless of MOT outcomes. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or binding, common issues in vans that may see prolonged standing or heavy payloads. Check the exhaust system for leaks and verify the condition of the bodywork and undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which structural rust can compromise over time.
