2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · GW16 ARD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 21 November 2025. However, the immediate history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Just four days prior to that pass, at 109,448 miles, the vehicle failed on critical safety points including suspension, braking, and visibility. While these specific defects were rectified to achieve the pass, the failure suggests that components were only addressed when forced by a legal test requirement. At 109,458 miles after four years, this Ford Transit has covered a significant distance of approximately 27,000 miles per annum. This high annual mileage is consistent with heavy commercial use, which accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components components. The narrow interval between the failure and the subsequent pass in November 2025 indicates the repairs were completed quickly once the faults were identified, but the high mileage suggests that the vehicle is nearing the end of typical service intervals for many mechanical parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside front arm ball joint was previously flagged as loose and likely to detach. The tester should also check the remaining ball joints and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue common in high-mileage vans. Given that the front brake pads were worn to the wear indicator in November 2025, the current brake discs should be inspected for glazing or thinning to ensure they have not been compromised by prolonged use. Additionally, the windscreen should be verified for any new cracks or chips that might obstruct the driver's field of view since the previous repair.
