2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HV22 SNU

The 2022 Ford Transit Custom 280 Limited presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT conducted on 23 February 2026 at 31,746 miles returning a completely clean pass and zero defects. The preceding test on 28 February 2025 at 17,209 miles was equally unblemished, with no advisories or failures recorded across either inspection. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been properly maintained and that no recurring mechanical or structural faults have emerged during the period covered by the records. The mileage accumulation is consistent and predictable. Between the two tests, the vehicle covered 14,537 miles over a twelve-month period, which aligns with the overall annual average of approximately 7,936 miles since new. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in recorded distance that might suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The current reading of 31,746 miles is entirely proportionate for a van approaching four years of age. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOTs only sample at fixed intervals. The Transit Custom is a commercial vehicle, and its condition under load matters. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear, particularly if the van has been used for heavy deliveries or operated on uneven surfaces. Inspect the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks that may not have triggered a failure at the last test. Pay close attention to the bodywork and underframe for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially around load-bearing points, sills, and wheel arches. Tyre condition and tread depth should be assessed across all four corners, as uneven wear can point to alignment or suspension issues not yet severe enough to fail an MOT. The clean record is encouraging, but a test drive under varied conditions and a physical inspection remain essential before committing to purchase.
