2019 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · HW69 NNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 155,930 miles resulted in a failure due to an inoperative engine management light and a worn nearside front tyre. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the presence of an MIL fault suggests potential underlying sensor or electronic issues that were not fully diagnosed. The overall trend remains stable but concerning, as faults are consistently addressed only when they trigger an MOT failure. This Transit shows high mileage accumulation for its age, averaging approximately 22,000 miles per year over last seven years. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the vehicle covered over 42,000 miles, jumping from 56,069 to 98,579 miles. This rapid rate of use puts significant strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The gap of 34,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests confirms consistent heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear of consumable items. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front-end suspension geometry given the recurring reports of tyres worn on the outer edges in 2022, 2023, and 2025. This pattern often indicates misaligned tracking or worn ball joints and wishbones that require attention. The 2022 advisory regarding engine oil levels below the minimum also warrants a check for oil leaks or excessive consumption, especially given the high annual mileage. Given the high usage and the previous MIL failure, a professional diagnostic scan of the turbocharger and exhaust treatment system is essential to ensure the engine has not reached the end of its reliable life.
