2020 Ford Transit Custom 280LEADER Eblue 2.0L Diesel · ML70 YFV

The 2020 Ford Transit Custom 280 Leader shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded on 15 August 2025 at 34,501 miles. The DVSA record carries no advisories or defects across the four tests logged, and the most recent examiner found nothing to flag. This indicates the vehicle has presented in sound mechanical order at each annual inspection. Mileage sits at 34,501 against a six-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,750 miles per year, which is low for a light commercial van. The record moves from 24,856 miles on 19 October 2023 to 31,708 miles on 18 October 2024, then to 34,501 by August 2025, showing gentle, consistent use with no abrupt accumulation. A failed entry appears on 18 October 2024 at 31,708 miles yet lists no defects; this points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the same-day pass confirming the van was roadworthy. Given the absence of recorded wear items or structural concerns, the buyer should still verify in person what static records cannot capture. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for latent corrosion or fatigue from prolonged standing, as low-mileage vans often develop perishing while idle. Confirm the exhaust emissions and structural integrity underbody match the clean test history. The sparse, defect-free log suggests prior keepers maintained basic upkeep and avoided neglect, but a hands-on check of tyre sidewalls, wiper condition, and binding calipers remains prudent before purchase.
