2022 Ford Transit Custom 280 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · FG22 JMU

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a pass on 21 March 2026 at 92,707 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable given that no defects were recorded at either the pass or the preceding failure. The failure on 20 March 2026 at 92,654 miles and the earlier failure on 10 March 2025 at 56,898 miles both closed with no defects listed, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the four-year record. Mileage rose from 56,973 at the March 2025 pass to 92,707 by March 2026, a 35,734-mile accumulation in twelve months against a four-year average of roughly 23,177 per year. That surge points to heavy commercial use in the final year. The 2022 Ford Transit Custom is barely four years old yet shows high throughput for its class, with the bulk of wear likely concentrated in the recent period. The clean MOT history offers no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion for the buyer to chase. The twin zero-defect failures remain unexplained by the record and warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes and the V5C to confirm no suppressed mechanical rejection. Given the 35,000-mile jump in the last year, I would still inspect front tyre tread, wiper blades, and the condition of the rear load floor and sill structure in person. A pre-purchase check should include a road test for binding calipers or drivetrain vibration and a visual scan of chassis legs for early rust. The previous owner clearly kept the van test-compliant, but the recent mileage spike means consumable intervals will arrive sooner than the age suggests.
