2022 Ford Transit Custom 290SPRT Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · FD71 LXB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 65,224 miles passed, it introduced two new advisories that were absent in the previous year. The presence of an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear, alongside a nail in the nearside rear, indicates that basic consumable inspections were neglected prior to the latest MOT appointment. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for a four-year-old commercial, averaging over 16,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 46,584 miles and the January 2026 test at 65,224 miles, the vehicle covered 18,640 miles. This high annual accumulation accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components, suspension bushings, and braking components. The consistent interval between tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension alignment and lateral components, as the edge wear on the offside front tyre often points to worn bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect tracking geometry. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads for thinning or uneven wear is necessary to ensure the system is not nearing its service interval. The chassis should be examined for signs of corrosion to ensure the high-mileage use has not masked structural degradation in the mounting points.
