2019 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HJ69 AVW

The overall roadworthiness status is currently passing, but the maintenance history indicates a significant deterioration trend rather than a stable one. The most recent test on 2025-12-06 at 86,693 miles was passed, yet this is a very recent date for a vehicle that has already experienced three separate MOT failures between 2022 and 2023. This gap of over two years between the most recent pass and the first failure suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep, likely due to a lack of regular servicing or a single owner who did not maintain the car. The first failure on 2023-09-06, where the brake pads are getting low, is a critical red flag, indicating that the braking system has been compromised and requires immediate attention. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct pattern of rapid accumulation, which contradicts the expectation of a low-mileage vehicle. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 12,385 miles per year, which is considered high for a 7-year-old car. While the vehicle has not been driven recently, the sheer volume of mileage since the last MOT strongly implies that the owner has been using the car heavily or that the vehicle has been parked for extended periods, leading to accelerated wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts. The lack of a gap between the two most recent MOTs (2023-2025) and the subsequent failures points to a lack of regular maintenance, as the car has not been serviced in a proper interval since the first failure. Given the severe wear on the brakes and the history of three separate MOT failures, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify any structural issues such as rust in the chassis or suspension bushings, or to verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers. The recurring faults highlight a failure to address the brake pad low warning light, which is a serious indication of potential failure. The buyer should also check the windscreen wiper blade and rear tyre condition, as the history of multiple cuts and wear indicates that basic upkeep was skipped, and the tyres have likely lost their tread or rubber. A thorough visual and tactile inspection is required to determine if the vehicle is roadworthy or if it requires immediate professional intervention to prevent further damage.
