2022 Ford Transit Custom 280LMTD Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · M2 CUK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 69,463 miles passed, it carried an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This mirrors a failure in January 2025 where the nearside front tyre had exposed ply or cords. The recurring nature of these faults suggests that the owner waits until components reach a critical failure point rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,366 miles per year. In the interval between the January 2025 and February 2026 tests, the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in just 13 months. This rapid accumulation puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The consistent reports of edge wear on tyres across both the front and rear axles likely point to persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to identify the cause of the uneven tyre wear. Focus on the control arms, ball joints, and tie rod ends for signs of play or perished rubber. Given the high mileage, the brake system should be checked for thin discs and seized calipers, as the history shows a lack of proactive mechanical attention. While no structural corrosion has appeared yet, the heavy usage pattern demands a close look at the chassis for stress-related wear.
