2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · G16 ABR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 June 2026 at 127,737 miles, following a failure just one mile earlier due to a cut in the offside rear inner tyre. While the current status is a pass with no defects, the maintenance trend suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The history shows a recurring cycle of tyre-related advisories and failures, indicating that consumables are often only addressed when they reach the point of legal non-compliance. The vehicle has covered 127,737 miles in approximately seven years, averaging roughly 18,248 miles per year. This high annual mileage is consistent with heavy commercial use for a Ford Transit Custom. The data shows steady, significant accumulation, with the mileage increasing by 23,019 miles between the May 2025 test and the June 2026 test. This rapid usage explains the frequent wear on tyres and braking components, as the vehicle is clearly being driven extensively on a regular basis. The MOT history highlights persistent issues with braking systems and tyres. In the March 2023 test at 82,042 miles, the tester flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both the front and rear axles. This issue resurfaced in the May 2025 test at 104,618 miles, where the discs were again noted as worn or scored. A buyer should inspect the current thickness and surface condition of all brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. The repeated advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit across 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest a lack of regular tyre management. Furthermore, the May 2025 report noted an oil leak that was not deemed excessive at the time. A physical inspection should focus on checking the engine bay and undercarriage for any signs of increased leakage or residual oil staining that might indicate the leak has worsened. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of suspension bushes and steering components is also recommended to ensure the chassis has not suffered excessive wear from heavy usage.
