2022 Ford Transit Custom 280 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · EO72 UPW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on December 8 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record highlights a specific mechanical concern that requires attention. The tester flagged the offside front service brake as binding, which, while noted as not being excessive, indicates a potential issue with the caliper or slide pins that could lead to uneven pad wear if not addressed. At 52,591 miles over approximately four years of service, this Ford Transit has covered roughly 13,148 miles per year. This level of usage is consistent with heavy commercial vehicle operation, which typically accelerates the degradation of suspension components and braking systems. While the MOT history is currently sparse due to the relatively young age of the vehicle, the high mileage suggests the drivetrain and undercarriage have been subjected to significant operational stress throughout its life. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the offside front braking assembly to determine if the binding is caused by a seized piston or simply debris in the mechanism. The record also notes damage to the nearside wing mirror and general nearside damage, which should be checked for underlying structural stress or moisture ingress into the wiring. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer must also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue that a standard MOT test might not capture until failure becomes imminent.
