2020 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · GF70 KKL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of minor mechanical and cosmetic issues. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 29,965 miles resulted in a pass but introduced an advisory for front tyre treads starting to break up. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, the owner is reacting to wear rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance regarding rubber components and minor leaks. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year over its six-year life. Data shows consistent annual usage, moving from 14,797 miles in December 2023 to 21,548 miles by December 2024. While low mileage typically suggests less friction-based wear on the engine and drivetrain, infrequent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and dry seals, which aligns with the recurring issues noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the engine bay to address the recurring oil leak flagged in both December 2023 and December 2024. Although the tester classified these as not excessive, the persistence over two years suggests a slow weep from a gasket or seal that requires monitoring or rectification to prevent a more significant failure. The windscreen damage noted in late 2024 should be checked for spreading cracks that may eventually lead to a failure in the next inspection cycle. Finally, the front tyres require immediate attention as the 2025 advisory indicates the tread is breaking up. Given the low mileage, this wear is likely due to flat spotting or age rot rather than distance travelled, suggesting the vehicle perhaps sits for long periods. The history shows no significant structural corrosion or brake failures, which is a positive indicator for a Transit Transit vehicle of this age.
