2020 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HW20 WDV

The vehicle presents a stable but repetitive maintenance profile, passing its most recent MOT on 20 August 2025 at 98,696 miles. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the record shows a consistent pattern of minor non-compliance issues that have persisted for several years. Specifically, the offside windscreen damage and a defective offside side repeater lens appear in every recorded test from August 2023 through to August 2025. This suggests a tendency to address only essential mechanical repairs rather than correcting minor cosmetic or non-safety-critical defects. The mileage accumulation is high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 16,450 miles per year. The jump from 63,088 miles in August 2023 to 78,852 miles in August 2024, and then to 98,696 miles by August 2025, indicates heavy, consistent commercial use. This high annual mileage places significant stress on wear-and-tear components, particularly the braking system and suspension, which aligns with the mechanical advisories noted in the history. The braking system shows a clear trend of component degradation. In August 2023, the tester flagged thin front inner brake pads. By August 2024, the issues had progressed to include thin nearside rear brake pads and pitted or scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside rear. Although no specific brake failures were noted in the 2025 test, a buyer must physically inspect the thickness of the pads and the surface condition of all four discs. The high mileage and previous scoring suggest that the braking components may be approaching the end of their service life or have been subject to heavy load usage. Beyond the brakes, the recurring windscreen damage should be inspected for any signs of spreading cracks that could compromise structural integrity or driver visibility. Given the heavy usage pattern, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and tyre tread depth is necessary, as the MOT record does not provide specific data on these items despite the high mileage. The consistent presence of the defective side repeater lens indicates that minor electrical or trim repairs are often deferred by the current operator.
