2022 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MM71 OFD

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 36,962 miles passing cleanly with zero defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the previous test on 13 February 2025 at 28,578 miles, where the tester flagged two advisories. The fact that the February 2025 defects have not recurred suggests the previous owner addressed the issues promptly, which is a positive indicator of responsible upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a commercial vehicle of this age. Between the two recorded MOTs, the vehicle covered 8,384 miles over a twelve-month period, which aligns with the overall average of roughly 9,240 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would raise concerns about clocking or prolonged periods of disuse. The record is sparse with only two entries, but both are consecutive annual tests, confirming the vehicle has remained in active use and has not been sitting idle. The February 2025 advisories warrant attention during any in-person inspection. The tester noted both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on edges, which typically points to a combination of low tread depth and uneven wear patterns. Edge wear on the front tyres often indicates misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes and joints, so a buyer should have the front-end geometry checked and inspect the condition of the lower arms, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links. The offside front constant velocity boot was recorded as severely deteriorated, meaning the CV joint was at risk of contamination from dirt and moisture. A buyer should examine the offside driveshaft joint for play, clicking under load, and any signs of grease flinging, as a replacement driveshaft or boot repair may be imminent if the joint has been running dry. Beyond the flagged items, the clean pass in February 2026 is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a thorough mechanical inspection. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, check for any corrosion on the chassis and load area floor, and confirm the exhaust system is free from leaks. Given the vehicle's commercial purpose, inspecting the rear suspension for sagging or weakened leaf springs under load is also advisable. The MOT record shows a vehicle that is currently roadworthy and has been maintained to a reasonable standard, but the earlier advisories suggest a careful physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
