2022 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MM71 EFW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 2 January 2026 at 127,288 miles showed a failure due to a non-functional offside headlamp and windscreen damage. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the pattern of failure suggests that the owner only addresses defects once they result in a formal failure during an MOT test. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 31,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 94,971 miles and the January 2026 test at 127,288 miles, the van covered 32,317 miles in a single year. This intensive usage suggests heavy long-distance motorway work, which places significant accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to average commercial vehicle usage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and wheel geometry, as the January 2025 failure revealed multiple tyres worn to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear alongside a cut reaching the cords. Repeated wear on multiple axles often points to alignment issues or worn bushes and control arms. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning and glazing and check the shocks for signs of leakage, as these components are likely nearing the end of their operational life at 127,000 miles.
