2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · EF70 ABO

The vehicle presents a current roadworthiness status of a stable maintenance trend following a corrective period. The most recent inspection on 9 December 2025 at 65,198 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. Since the failure in late 2024, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, suggesting a proactive approach to addressing mechanical requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase of 18,447 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 13,230 miles between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This regular usage suggests the van has been utilised actively rather than being left stationary, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should pay specific attention to the items noted during the December 2024 failure at 51,968 miles. The failure due to a worn offside front tyre and a structural bulge/separation on the nearside rear tyre indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumable safety until the test day. While these were replaced, the current tyres should be inspected for uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues or suspension geometry. The headlamp aim failure was a minor adjustment issue, but verifying that the beam remains correctly aligned is standard practice. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushes and braking components. Although the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion or binding calipers, the heavy nature of the Transit Custom puts significant stress on the front wish arms and shock absorbers. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests is a positive sign, but a manual check of the brake discs for thinning and the underside for surface rust remains recommended to ensure the vehicle remains in its current passing condition.
