2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MF22 VSL

The most recent MOT carried out on 10 March 2026 recorded a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that any issues flagged at the previous test have been remedied. The 2025 advisory items – front brake disc surface condition, front brake pad wear and a minor nearside front tyre cut – were not present on the latest inspection, suggesting that the current owner has addressed those wear items and that the vehicle’s maintenance trajectory is presently stable, if not marginally improving. At four years old the van has accumulated 61,144 miles, which works out to just over 15,000 miles per annum. That figure sits above the average for a light commercial vehicle of this age, implying a relatively high level of utilisation. The mileage density points to accelerated wear on consumables such as brake rotors, pads, tyres and suspension components, and it also raises the likelihood of higher cumulative stress on the drivetrain and engine oil life. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage, so the vehicle appears to have been in regular use rather than sitting idle for long periods. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the braking system. Although the front discs were cleared at the latest MOT, the previous advisory about pitting and scoring means the rotors may be approaching the end of their service life; listen for any low‑frequency shudder or pulsation when applying the brakes, especially under moderate to heavy braking, and inspect the pads for uneven wear or glazing. The nearside front tyre should be examined for any progression of the existing cut and for signs of sidewall cracking or tread separation, as a small cut can develop into a puncture under load. The windscreen damage noted in 2025, though not deemed to impair vision, should be checked for any propagation of cracks, especially around the edge, and for any water ingress that could affect interior electronics. Beyond the items highlighted by the MOT, an age‑appropriate inspection regime is advisable. Verify the condition of the 12‑volt battery – check voltage, load response and any signs of sulfation, particularly if the van has spent periods standing idle. Examine the suspension bushings, ball joints and coil springs for any signs of corrosion, cracking or excessive play, which can manifest as clunking noises over bumps. Confirm that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission oil – have been serviced within the manufacturer’s time intervals, as calendar ageing can degrade lubricants even at modest mileage. Finally, review the service book for regular oil changes, filter replacements and any recorded corrosion control, and ensure that the exhaust system is free of leaks or excessive rust that could affect emissions compliance.
