2019 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · DP19 PDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 146,043 miles passed, yet it flagged both front tyres as near the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates a failure to address basic consumables prior to the inspection. While the vehicle has maintained its MOT status, the history reveals multiple mechanical failures over time, including a radiator leak and damaged shock absorber bushes. At 146,043 miles, this Ford Transit has covered significant ground, averaging over 20,000 miles per year across its seven-year life. Between January 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 11,100 miles in just thirteen months, suggesting consistent high-intensity commercial use. This rapid rate of accumulation places immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the severe deterioration of both front drive shaft CV boots recorded during the January 2025 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and cooling system. The 2022 record noted a radiator leak and a distorted offside front wheel, which suggests a previous history of impact or stress-related failure. The uneven tyre wear noted in the 2026 test strongly implies an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Given the history of CV boot failures, the buyer should also check for grease leakage around the drive shafts to ensure the new joints are not already nearing failure.
