2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · GV19 KFR

The 2019 Ford Transit Custom presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 16 March 2026 at 102,934 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a significant turnaround compared to the preceding years, where testers repeatedly flagged brake and tyre wear. The March 2025 test at 87,498 miles still showed worn and pitted front and rear brake discs alongside thin rear pads and a smearing wiper blade, yet by the following March all of those items had been addressed. No new advisories or failures have appeared since, suggesting the most recent owner has invested in proper upkeep rather than simply patching through each annual test. The vehicle has covered 102,934 miles over roughly seven years, averaging approximately 14,705 miles per year. That is a high annual rate for a light commercial vehicle of this age, and the MOT record confirms consistent yearly use with no obvious long-term standing gaps. Mileage progression is steady: 46,248 miles in March 2022, 64,290 in March 2023, 73,764 in March 2024, 87,498 in March 2025, and 102,934 in March 2026. The increments range from roughly 9,500 to 18,500 miles per year, with the highest accumulation occurring between March 2024 and March 2025. This pattern points to sustained commercial or high-intensity private use rather than occasional light driving. Buyers should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system and front suspension components. The 2023 and 2025 MOT records both flagged worn front brake discs and pads, and the 2025 test also noted pitted rear discs and thin rear pads. Although the 2026 test passed cleanly, a physical check of disc thickness, pad material remaining, and caliper operation is warranted to confirm the repairs are holding. Front tyres were noted as worn close to the legal limit in March 2023, with the nearside showing edge wear at 2.4mm, which can indicate tracking or suspension bush degradation. Given the high mileage, a thorough inspection of front suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends is advisable, along with a close look at the seat belt buckle flagged as slightly damaged in 2023 to ensure it latches and releases correctly.
