2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · MJ19 LSL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 October 2025 at 46,111 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years were addressed. The vehicle has since maintained a clean record of compliance over the last eight months of operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. There is a 10,316-mile gap between the October 2022 test at 29,795 miles and the September 2023 test at 40,111 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and brake components, though the low overall mileage means less wear on the suspension components compared to high-mileage fleet vans. The failure on 25 September 2023 at 40,111 miles highlights a lapse in basic consumable inspections and visibility maintenance. The tester flagged multiple tyre-related faults, including exposed cords on the nearside rear tyre and sidewall damage on the nearside front, alongside defective wiper blades and insufficient washer fluid. While these are non-structural issues, a buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres and the wiper assembly to ensure no further neglect has occurred since those repairs. Given the clean results of the two most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis for any early corrosion, which is a common concern for Ford Transits regardless of mileage. The buyer should also check for signs of binding calipers or worn suspension bushes, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of these components beyond the pass/fail criteria.
