2022 Ford Transit Custom 320 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MJ71 VSE

The vehicle presents a stable and currently sound mechanical profile, with its most recent MOT test on 14 January 2026 recording a clean pass at 57,186 miles and zero defects. A duplicate entry for the same date and mileage shows an initial failure with no defects recorded, which typically indicates an administrative or procedural retest rather than a mechanical fault. The preceding test on 28 January 2025 also passed cleanly at 45,628 miles. Across both annual tests, the complete absence of advisories or failures points to consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. Mileage accumulation is notably high for a four-year-old commercial vehicle. Between 28 January 2025 and 14 January 2026, the odometer moved 11,558 miles in just under twelve months, confirming sustained heavy use. The annualised rate of roughly 14,300 miles is well above the typical private car average and indicates prolonged motorway or load-carrying work. Such usage accelerates wear on consumable components, particularly brake discs and pads, tyres, suspension bushes, and exhaust mounting rubbers, even if these have not yet triggered test failures. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that heavy commercial use stresses most. Check the condition of front and rear brake discs for scoring and lipping, and verify pad thickness. Examine suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar linkages for play or deteriorated bushes, as frequent load cycling accelerates fatigue. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion at joints and flexi-pipes, and assess tyre condition across all four corners for uneven wear that could indicate alignment or tracking issues. Structural integrity also warrants close attention. Inspect the load floor, sills, and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion or cracking, particularly if the vehicle has operated in a commercial or coastal environment. While the MOT record is reassuringly clean, the high-mileage profile means that wear items are approaching replacement intervals faster than average. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is advisable to verify the condition of these components before committing.
