2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · LD19 SNV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent passing results. The most recent test conducted on 14 April 2025 at 103,653 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded earlier on 17 April 2023, the immediate pass and subsequent clean records suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern reflects heavy commercial use for a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. A significant surge in usage occurred between April 2022 and April 2023, where the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has steadied, with roughly 24,000 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another similar interval thereafter. This high-mile environment suggests consistent long-distance operation, which typically puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension compared to urban commuting. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the front suspension and steering components, as Ford Transit models often experience wear on bushes and ball joints under heavy loads. The buyer should also check for signs of thinning on the brake discs and inspect the exhaust system for excessive corrosion, despite the clean MOT history. The lack of recorded structural advisories in the last three tests is a positive sign, but a thorough check of the chassis-side beam and mounting points remains essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed despite the high annual mileage.
