2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HG69 CFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in January 2026 at 99,414 miles passed with a new advisory for slight play in the steering wheel assembly. While the vehicle has passed its last three tests, the previous failure record in early 2024 suggests that critical components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. The Transit has covered significant mileage for its six-year age, averaging approximately 16,500 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the vehicle clocked 22,555 miles in a single year, representing a period of high-intensity commercial use that correlates with the accelerated wear seen on consumables. The gap of 10,833 miles between the January 2025 and 2026 tests shows a consistent pattern of heavy usage, which places substantial strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must inspect the steering system thoroughly due to the recent advisory regarding play in the assembly, as this could indicate worn steering column joints or rack-end issues. The history shows a recurring trend of poor tyre management, with edge wear and low tread noted in both 2023 and 2024, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the January 2024 failure for both front and rear brake pads under 1.5mm indicates that the owner ignored service intervals until failure, necessitating a physical check of the current brake discs for thinning or uneven piston wear.
