2019 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · FD69 OSV

The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 August 2025 at 48,538 miles, returned a clean pass with zero defects. This is a strong indicator of current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend over the last three years is stable and broadly improving. The vehicle passed cleanly in August 2023 and again in August 2025, with only a minor advisory for uneven tyre wear noted in between. No recurring mechanical or structural failures appear in the record, suggesting the van has been kept in reasonable order. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. It covered 3,768 miles between the January and August 2023 tests, then 11,374 miles over the following twelve months to August 2024, before recording no further mileage increase by August 2025. That final plateau suggests the vehicle may have been standing or used very lightly in the last year. Annual use of roughly 6,900 miles is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age, and the MOT record is sufficiently frequent to confirm regular operation rather than long-term storage. The only notable advisory was raised in August 2024 at 37,164 miles, when the tester flagged the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on both inner and outer edges. Uneven edge wear on a front tyre points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes rather than simple neglect. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension components, including the track rod ends, lower arm bushes, and coil springs, for any play or deterioration. The brake discs and pads also warrant a close visual check, as commercial vans of this type often suffer from binding calipers or uneven disc wear under heavier loads. Despite the clean recent pass, the lack of mileage movement since August 2025 raises a minor concern about prolonged inactivity. Long-standing vehicles can develop corroded brake lines, seized handbrake mechanisms, and fuel system condensation. A thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills, outriggers, and suspension mounting points, is advisable before purchase. The windscreen wiper defect recorded in January 2023 was a simple consumable issue and has since been resolved, carrying no lasting mechanical significance.
