2020 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · KW70 ACF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 39,519 miles. The maintenance trend shows improvement; the December 2024 failure—wipers, a split drive‑shaft boot, tyre damage and indicator discolouration—was addressed within two days, resulting in a pass that retained only the tyre and indicator advisories. By December 2025 the only recorded fault is front offside tyre wear, indicating that the earlier mechanical issues have been resolved. The mileage record indicates a rapid accumulation of distance for a six‑year‑old model. Between 31,011 miles in December 2024 and 39,519 miles in December 2025 the vehicle gained 8,508 miles in roughly eleven months, averaging about 7,735 miles per year. This exceeds the typical 6,600‑mile annual figure for the cohort, suggesting heavier use or periodic high‑load operation. The gap between the 2023 test (22,244 miles) and the 2024 test (30,998 miles) also shows a notable jump of over 8,700 miles in a single year, reinforcing the higher‑than‑average wear rate. A buyer should inspect the front offside tyre for uneven wear and verify that it is not near the legal limit. The drive‑shaft constant velocity boot should be examined for splits or deterioration, as the 2024 failure highlighted a breach of sealing integrity. The rear direction indicator lenses need functional testing for colour stability, and the rear wheel‑arch panel should be checked for corrosion or damage. Finally, the windscreen wiper blades must clear the glass effectively, a fault that previously caused a failure. The vehicle’s overall condition is acceptable for immediate use, but the accelerated mileage raises concerns about consumable life and potential hidden fatigue in suspension and drivetrain components. A pre‑purchase inspection should include a road test to confirm smooth gear operation, no abnormal noises from the rear axle, and proper brake response. Documented repairs should be verified, and any service records beyond the MOT entries should be requested to confirm maintenance diligence.
