2019 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CX69 FNK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The latest test in November 2025 at 107,301 miles identified three distinct issues including a corroded brake pipe, a worn offside rear tyre, and a minor oil leak. While the vehicle passed the 2024 test with no defects, the appearance of these faults in the recent inspection suggests the vehicle is beginning to show age-related wear consistent with its high usage. The mileage pattern reflects a heavy commercial application, averaging approximately 15,300 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between October 2023 at 74,813 miles and November 2025 at 107,301 miles, the vehicle covered 32,488 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The consistent interval between the 2022 and 2024 tests indicates regular use, but the high annual mileage accelerates the degradation of rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically targeting the corroded brake pipe flagged in late 2025. The presence of grease or material on the pipe often suggests an attempt to hide corrosion, which necessitates a close look for structural thinning. The recorded oil leak at 107,301 miles requires determining if it is a simple gasket leak or a more significant engine seal failure. Given the inner-edge tyre wear noted at the rear, a professional alignment check and inspection of the suspension bushes are essential to ensure the geometry is not causing premature component failure.
