2019 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · L77 HAB

The most recent MOT on 2026‑07‑07 at 89,283 mi recorded a pass but highlighted three items: the nearside front child‑seat fitting obstructed full inspection of the adult belt, the front and rear brake discs showed wear, pitting and scoring (1.1.14 (a)(ii)), and the offside rear registration‑plate lamp was inoperative (4.7.1 (b)(i)). These defects follow a pattern of brake‑disc wear first noted in the 2025 test and tyre‑damage advisories from the same year, indicating a deteriorating trend in consumable braking components rather than an improving condition. Mileage accumulation has been aggressive early on, rising from 47,807 mi in April 2022 to 64,862 mi by April 2023 (+17,055 mi) and to 83,623 mi by July 2024 (+18,761 mi). The growth then slowed markedly, with only 1,745 mi added between July 2024 and July 2025 and 3,915 mi in the year to July 2026. The vehicle is therefore roughly 12,800 mi per year over its seven‑year life, a high figure for a 2019 model, though the recent plateau suggests periods of low utilisation that may affect brake‑disc cooling and tyre wear rates. A buyer should inspect the front and rear brake discs for pitting and scoring, confirm smooth pedal operation and absence of binding calipers, and verify that the rear registration‑plate lamp functions correctly. The child‑seat mounting area must be examined to ensure the adult belt can be fully inspected, and the rear tyres should be checked for cracking or perishing (5.2.3 (d)(ii)). Suspension bushes and chassis rails merit a visual check for corrosion, given the high mileage and the recorded tyre damage, while also reviewing the exhaust for any developing rust that could affect emissions.
