2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · DA16 LEW

The 2019 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent DVSA test on 10 April 2025 at 99,726 miles with no defects recorded. Across four consecutive annual or near-annual examinations from 2022 to 2025, the tester raised no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is clean and consistent, showing no worsening mechanical condition or recurring fault pattern in the official record. The van has covered roughly 14,247 miles per year, high for a seven-year-old vehicle but typical of a working light commercial. Mileage climbed from 61,198 on 10 August 2022 to 77,204 by 8 August 2023, then to 83,719 on 16 April 2024 after a longer gap, and reached 99,726 by April 2025. The 2023 to 2024 interval extended eight months yet added only 6,515 miles, suggesting lighter use in that window. The record stays sparse and clean throughout, with no flagged consumable wear or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage and commercial duty cycle. High annual use accelerates wear on these components even when MOT tests show clear. Examine subframes and sills for corrosion, as Transit Customs of this generation are prone to structural rust where road salt gathers. Verify service history matches the odometer and confirm tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions remain within spec, since the MOT only captures condition at test date. The absence of advisories implies prior owners kept the vehicle to test standard, but the high mileage warrants scrutiny of drivetrain health beyond the MOT scope.
