2022 Ford Transit Custom 310 Sport Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MD22 CWM

A relatively uneventful MOT history defines this 2022 Transit Custom, with the only recorded interaction being the combined pass and failure event of 19 July 2025 at 21,103 miles. The single major failure was a non-functional windscreen washer, a straightforward electrical or fluid-level issue that has no bearing on the structural or mechanical integrity of the vehicle. The pass certification on the same date confirms that all other tested systems, including brakes, suspension, emissions, and lighting, were found compliant. Two advisories were also noted on that day: an offside rear nail in a tyre, and a child seat obstructing full inspection of the offside rear adult belt. Both are minor and easily resolved, though the tyre advisory warrants confirmation that the puncture has been professionally repaired or the tyre replaced before purchase. With four years on the road and just 21,103 miles recorded, this van has averaged only around 5,276 miles annually, which is well below typical commercial usage figures for a Transit Custom. Such light annual mileage can mean reduced wear on major mechanical components such as the clutch, turbo, and engine internals, but it also raises the possibility of extended periods of standing. Lower-use vehicles can develop flat spots in tyres, deteriorated brake discs from surface corrosion due to infrequent use, and 12V battery degradation, though no specific test defects have been recorded against this vehicle to confirm any such issues. A single MOT event at this mileage is itself unusual for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it may have spent significant time either off the road or in low-demand service prior to its first recorded test. Any prospective buyer should satisfy themselves through documentation that the low mileage is genuine and not the result of clock irregularities or extended storage without maintenance. Given the limited MOT history, a physical inspection and test drive should concentrate on areas not fully covered by the existing advisories. The offside rear nail advisory should be checked carefully, asking for evidence of repair or replacement and inspecting the inside shoulder and sidewall for any secondary damage or slow leaks. The obstructed seat belt inspection point should prompt a manual check of the offside rear belt for fraying, correct retraction, and proper latch operation once the child seat is removed. During the road test, listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which on Transits commonly points to worn anti-roll bar bushes or drop links, and feel for any vagueness in steering or pulling to one side under braking. Pay close attention to brake pedal feel, checking for any judder or pulsation that could indicate warped front discs from prolonged light use, and verify that the handbrake holds firmly on an incline. Finally, confirm the windscreen washer system is fully operational, including the rear wash function where fitted, as the previous failure suggests the system was not maintained at the time of test.
