2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · KS71 XEH

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection in February 2026. The maintenance trend shows a slight shift from a clean record in 2025 to the appearance of minor wear in the latest test. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front brake discs as worn, indicating that the braking system is approaching the end of its effective service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical commercial usage for a Ford Transit, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the February 2025 test at 30,283 miles and the February 2026 test at 40,017 miles, the van covered 9,734 miles in a twelve-month period. This steady rate of accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of mechanical components like seals and brake internal parts. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the front brake assembly to determine the remaining thickness of the discs and the condition of the pads. Since both sides were noted as worn simultaneously, it is necessary to check for uneven wear or scoring, which would necessitate a full replacement set. Given the age and mileage, an inspection should also focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these components frequently suffer stress on Transit vehicles of this age.
