2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · EO72 WDA

With only a single MOT on record and that one entirely clean, this Transit Custom presents a short but unblemished testing history: the August 2025 examination passed with no defects and no advisories whatsoever, meaning the tester recorded nothing of note across brakes, suspension, steering, structure, or emissions. That is a genuinely positive starting point, though it must be weighed honestly — one test on a three-year-old van is a thin dataset, and the absence of advisories at this age is expected rather than exceptional. There is no trend to analyse, no recurring wear items, and no evidence of corrosion or component deterioration, but equally there is no long track record to lean on. At 31,921 miles over roughly four years, the van has averaged around 8,000 miles annually, which sits comfortably within normal use for a vehicle of this type. Many Transit Customs earn their living accumulating far higher mileages, so this example has seen comparatively moderate duty. The mileage pattern shows no gaps or anomalies, and the single recorded test is consistent with steady, regular use rather than prolonged standing. Mechanically, this means consumables such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes should have experienced modest wear, though light commercial use can still involve heavy loads and urban stop-start driving that stress components disproportionately to the odometer reading. Given the clean record, the buyer's focus should shift from known defects to verification of what a single test cannot show. On a test drive, listen for knocks or clonks from the front suspension over broken surfaces, as Transit Customs of this generation can develop wear in anti-roll bar links and lower arm bushes even at moderate mileages, particularly if the van has carried heavy loads. Check that the brakes pull up straight and progressively without judder through the pedal or steering wheel, which would suggest disc wear or corrosion from periods of light use. Beyond the drive, a thorough physical inspection remains worthwhile. Examine the load area and rear bodywork for signs of hard commercial use, check underneath for any impact damage to the exhaust and suspension that a clean MOT would not necessarily capture, and confirm the service history supports the recorded mileage. The 2.0 EcoBlue diesel also warrants a check for smooth cold starting and clean running without excessive smoke, as these engines respond poorly to skipped oil changes. Overall the record offers no cause for concern, but with only one test on file, a hands-on inspection and verified service history carry more weight than usual in the buying decision.
