2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · DX19 RWZ

The vehicle holds a valid pass certificate from the 24 February 2026 test at 103,407 miles, confirming current roadworthiness after the tester rectified the same-day failures on corroded brake pipe, suspension wear, tyre condition, and headlamp aim. The maintenance trend sits between stable and slightly worsening, with recurring suspension and tyre faults persisting across the record while new corrosion appears on the brake pipe. The 2024 windscreen crack and handbrake deficiencies have been resolved, but the front-end suspension wear has reappeared in consecutive years, indicating an ongoing issue that requires monitoring rather than a one-off fix. The mileage profile shows consistent annual accumulation averaging roughly 14,700 miles per year since 2022, with no suspicious gaps or odometer jumps between the 45,241-mile test in February 2022 and the 103,407-mile reading in February 2026. The 2024 record contains a tight cluster on 7 February and 13 February 2024, reflecting a rapid repair turnaround after the windscreen and handbrake failures, but the subsequent annual readings progress normally. This high annual mileage points to heavy commercial or high-mileage private use, which accelerates wear on consumables and structural components compared to a garage-kept vehicle. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspecting the nearside front suspension arm bushes and pivot pin, which the tester flagged as worn in both February 2025 and February 2026 without yet causing excessive movement. The offside front brake pipe corrosion discovered in the February 2026 pass requires immediate verification, as moisture ingress can lead to sudden brake failure. The nearside rear tyre shows edge wear close to the legal limit, and the record shows similar rear tyre cracking back in 2022, suggesting a pattern of under-inflation or alignment neglect. The headlamp aim failure from the same February 2026 session and the recurring nearside reversing lamp defects in 2023 and 2025 indicate that lighting and electrical upkeep has been inconsistent across ownerships.
