2020 Ford Transit Custom 280LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · LB70 YBP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 41,688 miles passed successfully but noted an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a minor failure in December 2024 regarding an ineffective wiper blade, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an inspection failure or reach critical wear. At 41,688 miles over six years, this Transit has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with light-to-medium usage for a commercial vehicle. The data shows a consistent progression of mileage, with 8,184 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 5,099 miles followed by October 2025. This low mileage relative to the age suggests that the drivetrain and major mechanical components should still have significant service life remaining, compared to high-mileage fleet vans. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge in 2025 often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the previous wiper failure highlights that basic consumable items are overlooked. Verify the condition of the remaining tyres and check for rust on the brake discs to ensure the low-frequency usage has not led to surface pitting during periods of standing.
