2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · LA68 BBK

This 2019 Ford Transit Custom holds a valid MOT issued on 9 December 2025 at 116,152 miles, with only a minor headlamp aim adjustment noted. The maintenance trend over the past five years is broadly stable, though the record reveals a clear shift from a defect-free vehicle into one accumulating wear-related advisories. Between 2021 and 2022, both annual tests passed with zero faults. From 2023 onward, the tester flagged worn rear brake discs, a missing offside upper mirror, and front tyre wear reaching the legal limit. None of these constitute serious structural or mechanical failure, but the pattern suggests routine consumable upkeep has been reactive rather than proactive. The mileage accumulation is notably uneven. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the van covered roughly 17,000 miles. That figure jumped to nearly 28,500 miles between November 2022 and November 2023, then surged to 28,575 miles in the single year leading to the November 2024 test. The most striking anomaly is the December 2025 test, which recorded exactly 116,152 miles — identical to the November 2024 reading of 94,140 miles being just 22,012 miles higher over an entire year. This plateau raises questions about the final recorded figure's accuracy or whether the vehicle stood unused for an extended period before the last test. The overall annual average of around 16,600 miles is high for a light commercial vehicle of this age, consistent with sustained heavy use rather than fleet rotation. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension. The 2023 advisory for worn rear brake discs at 65,565 miles, combined with the 2024 front tyre wear advisory at 94,140 miles, points to a vehicle that has been driven hard without necessarily receiving timely brake servicing. Check the condition of all brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Inspect the front tyre inner edges and suspension bushes for play, as edge wear on both nearside and offside front tyres often indicates misalignment or worn tracking. The missing offside upper mirror flagged in 2023 should have been rectified, but verify its security and condition. Given the high mileage and the uneven service pattern, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, exhaust integrity, and drivetrain leaks is advisable before purchase.
