2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · LD19 OBP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 122,070 miles resulted in multiple advisories regarding consumable wear and minor damage. While the vehicle passed, the transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to a list of defects suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where components require more frequent attention. At 122,070 miles over seven years, this Transit Custom has covered an average of approximately 17,400 miles per year, indicating heavy commercial use. The data shows rapid accumulation between April 2023 (92,381 miles) and December 2025 (122,070 miles), representing nearly 30,000 miles driven in just under 32 months. This high-frequency usage typically puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system, which aligns with the recent mechanical findings. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front axle assembly. The December 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension components. Furthermore, the front brake discs were noted as worn. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the disc thickness and condition of the calipers is essential to avoid immediate replacement costs. The history also reveals minor electrical oversights, such as the failed headlamp and side repeaters, which were only addressed after failing the test. A physical inspection should verify the integrity of the lighting wiring and check the offside front windscreen for crack propagation. While no structural corrosion has been flagged yet, the high annual mileage demands a close look at the underbody for signs of heavy fatigue common in high-use transit vehicles.
