2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · LJ19 MPL

The 2019 Ford Transit Custom presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 October 2025 at 22,858 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations since 2022. The van has covered just 22,858 miles in roughly seven years, averaging about 3,265 miles per year. Records show steady low accumulation: 12,178 miles on 28 July 2022, 15,266 on 5 August 2023, 18,600 on 12 August 2024, and 22,858 on 4 October 2025. The DVSA log is sparse and clean, with only a duplicate 28 July 2022 entry showing a fail then pass at identical mileage and no defects listed, likely an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. Low use of this nature often means long standing periods, which can hide perished seals or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a static test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and intermittent use. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake calipers even when the MOT shows no advisories. The absence of recorded faults across five tests suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but the history offers no evidence on clutch wear, turbo condition, or underbody rust progression. Verify the 28 July 2022 anomaly with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise, the record supports a well-preserved example requiring only routine consumable checks before purchase.
