Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 15 January 2026 at 80,441 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements and prevented minor issues from escalating into failures during the annual inspection process. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage profile for a commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between the December 2022 test at 36,821 miles and the January 2025 test at 68,551 miles, the van covered over 31,000 miles, showing regular operation. The subsequent interval of 11,890 miles between January 2025 and January 2026 further confirms a steady pattern of use, which is generally beneficial for protecting components like braking systems and seals from the seizing often associated with long periods of standing. While the digital record shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Ford Transit of this age. The buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue on heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and ensuring the calipers are not binding remains prudent, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the components.

Our Verdict

A solid purchase option for those needing a reliable workhorse. The vehicle shows a consistent history of passing MOT tests without recorded defects over the last four years.

When inspecting this specific Transit Custom, verify that the service history aligns with the mileage, particularly regarding oil changes for the 1995cc diesel engine. Given that the model aggregate data shows tyres and windscreen wipers as common failure points, check the tread depth and the condition of the wiper blades personally, even if they passed the last MOT.

Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean, 80,441 miles is significantly higher than the average annual mileage for this model type. Ensure you check for any signs of heavy load wear on the suspension and tyres, which is common for the 300LTD specification.

Running costs for this 2.0L diesel van will be influenced by its use as a commercial vehicle. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style, but the Euro 6 status helps avoid many urban congestion charges.

Insurance groups for the Transit Custom vary, so obtain a quote based on the DM53AJS registration. Expect maintenance costs to include regular servicing and potential replacements of consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are standard for a vehicle with 80,000+ miles.

Focus your inspection on the items most likely to cause MOT failures in this model, specifically the tyres, windscreen wipers, and headlamp alignment. Although this vehicle had no recorded defects in its 2026 MOT, these components are wear-and-tear items that should be checked for immediate replacement needs.

Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion and check the condition of the braking system. Given the mileage, pay close attention to the clutch and gearbox smoothness to ensure the vehicle's heavy-duty capabilities remain intact.

This 2019 Ford Transit Custom 300LTD EBlue presents with a clean MOT record, showing no failures or advisories since its first recorded test in 2022. With 80,441 miles on the clock, it has covered more than the model average of 13,151 miles per year, but the recent history suggests consistent usage. The Euro 6 diesel engine makes it compliant with current low-emission zones.

The Ford Transit Custom shows an 82.7% average MOT pass rate across the 52,431 vehicles analysed, with common failures related to tyres, wipers, and headlamps.
