2020 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · FJ70 OVO

The Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 8 January 2026 at 114,149 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every annual examination either passing outright or failing on an administrative basis rather than mechanical fault. On the same date in January 2026 the van first failed at 114,145 miles with no defects listed, a clear clerical rejection before the immediate clean pass four miles later. Mileage sat at 66,300 on 10 January 2024, rose to 90,021 by 7 January 2025, then jumped to 114,149 by 8 January 2026. That equates to roughly 24,000 miles in the final year, well above the six-year average of 19,025, marking a period of heavy commercial use. The record shows no gaps between tests and remains sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged across the four entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension and steering components given the high annual mileage and the Transit Custom's known vulnerability to worn rear spring mounts and track-rod wear. The absence of advisories does not exempt the vehicle from consumable fatigue such as tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness after 114,149 miles of load-carrying service. The repeated zero-defect outcomes suggest the previous operator kept the van to a basic pass standard rather than addressing wear before it breached limits. Given the 2026 failure carried no recorded defect, treat it as a paperwork anomaly, not evidence of neglected upkeep.
