2020 Ford Transit Custom 290SPRT Eblue A 2.0L Diesel · ML70 FXD

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 11,353 miles which returned with no recorded defects. This indicates that the minor issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows an improvement, as the vehicle moved from having tyre-related advisories to a clean sheet in the latest annual inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 1,892 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between September 2023 and May 2024, where the vehicle covered only three miles in eight months, followed by a more active period of use leading into the following tests. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long periods of standing can often cause rubber-based parts to degrade due to age rather than mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and rubber bushings. The May 2025 test at 9,674 miles flagged perishing on both the nearside and offside rear tyres alongside a nail in the offside tyre. Given the low mileage and high age, the tyres are likely suffering from dry rot or cracking rather than having insufficient tread depth. A buyer should also check for brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit stationary for long periods are prone to surface rust on the braking system.
