2019 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · ML19 MWU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear move toward deferred attention regarding braking and tyre components. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 70,038 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were absent in the previous 2023 inspection. The shift from a clean record to a list of mechanical advisories suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles annually. Between June 2022 at 51,206 miles and June 2023 at 65,124 miles, the Transit covered nearly 14,000 miles in a single year, indicating a period of heavy use. The subsequent 4,914 miles covered over the following two years represent a significantly lower usage rate, which explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and tyres. A buyer must perform a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the 2025 test flagged offside rear brake pipe corrosion hidden by grease, which can mask significant structural degradation. The pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs indicate they are reaching the end of their effective life and require immediate replacement. The recurring reports of sidew cuts and perishing tyres across 2022 and 2025 suggest a history of rough tyre care or poor storage, necessitating a check of the current sidewalls and alignment to ensure no hidden damage exists.
