2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HK22 MHO

The 2022 Ford Transit Custom 280 Limited presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 20 May 2025 at 17,364 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 19 May 2025 at 17,336 miles also shows no defects, despite being a failure. This indicates a clean bill of health at the last inspection, with no recurring or unresolved mechanical or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle approaching four years of age. Between the two recorded test dates, just 28 miles were covered in a 24-hour window, and the total recorded mileage of 17,364 miles equates to roughly 4,341 miles per year. This is well below the UK average and suggests either very light use or extended periods of standing. The MOT history itself is sparse, with only two entries on record, both occurring in May 2025. There is no earlier test data to establish a longer-term maintenance trend. A clean MOT record is encouraging, but the extremely low mileage warrants a focused in-person inspection. Short-trip or infrequent use can mask issues that high-mileage vehicles reveal more quickly. A buyer should inspect the condition of the tyre sidewalls for perishing or flat-spotting, check the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing, and verify that the exhaust aftertreatment system, including the DPF, has not suffered from repeated cold starts or incomplete regeneration cycles. Suspension bushes and mountings should also be examined for deterioration that can occur through inactivity rather than wear. The vehicle's structural integrity and underside condition deserve close attention. Low-mileage vans that have stood for long periods can develop surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and mounting points, particularly if stored in damp or coastal environments. A thorough inspection of the body mounts, sill edges, and floor pan for any signs of early corrosion or moisture ingress would be prudent. Overall, the MOT record is reassuring, but the usage pattern demands a careful physical check to confirm the vehicle has not deteriorated through neglect or inactivity.
