2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · GD69 YYX

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend towards neglected consumables. While the most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 94,871 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged rear brake pads as wearing thin. This follows a failed test on 16 December 2024 at 84,486 miles, where the vehicle failed on multiple counts including structural tyre damage, worn front tyres, and thin front brake pads. The transition from multiple failures in late 2024 to a single advisory in late 2025 suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one. The mileage accumulation indicates heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 15,800 miles per year. The vehicle covered 22,000 miles between the January 2024 test and the December 2024 test, representing a significant increase in workload over a short period. This high annual mileage places increased stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The record shows a consistent upward trajectory in usage, which aligns with the expected wear patterns for a Ford Transit Custom used in a professional capacity. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of thinning brake pads, appearing in both the December 2024 failure and the November 2025 advisory. This suggests the braking components are being run close to their limits. Additionally, the structural failure of the nearside rear tyre in December 2024 indicates potential issues with road debris or driving styles that impact tyre integrity. Given the high mileage and the recent advisory regarding rear brakes, a physical check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is advisable to ensure the chassis has not suffered excessive fatigue. While no structural corrosion or emissions issues appeared in the recent records, the pattern of tyre and brake wear suggests that the next service interval should include a comprehensive assessment of all friction materials and rubber components to prevent further roadside failures.
