2020 Ford Transit Custom 320 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · LC20 LHA

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having cleared its latest MOT on 11 June 2026 at 92,855 miles. Three days earlier the test failed due to front and rear brake pads below the 1.5 mm threshold (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and a front disc that was significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i)), with the rear discs noted as worn but not excessively. The immediate retest success suggests the brake system was repaired, yet the recurrence of front‑tyre wear close to the legal limit in both 2023 and 2025 points to a pattern of deferred consumable maintenance. Mileage accumulation has accelerated over the vehicle’s life. Between July 2023 (34,568 mi) and June 2024 (49,052 mi) the odometer rose by roughly 14,500 mi in eleven months, then by about 21,000 mi in the following twelve months, reaching 70,098 mi. The final year to June 2026 added a further 22,757 mi, averaging 15,476 mi annually—well above the norm for a six‑year‑old transit. The MOT gaps are regular (annual tests) but the steep mileage rise indicates heavy commercial use rather than intermittent storage. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake assembly for pad thickness and disc condition, confirming they meet the 1.5 mm minimum and that the discs show uniform wear without deep scoring. Front‑tyre tread depth should be checked against the wear indicators, and any uneven wear patterns examined for suspension or alignment issues. While no corrosion or structural defects appear in the record, a visual scan for rust on the chassis, exhaust mounting points and the rear bulkhead is prudent, as high mileage can conceal early‑stage corrosion. Finally, verify service history for the brake work carried out between 8 and 11 June 2026 to ensure the repairs were properly executed.
