2019 Ford Transit Custom 280 Trend Eblue 2.0L Diesel · MR02 APD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 156,720 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical compliance, as no major failures have been recorded across the last three testing cycles. While the vehicle consistently meets minimum standards, the recurring presence of windscreen damage suggests a pattern of ownership that prioritizes functional operation over immediate cosmetic glass repairs. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 22,400 miles annually over its seven-year lifespan. Between the December 2022 test at 130,398 miles and the March 2024 test at 134,504 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,106 miles in over fourteen months. However, the usage accelerated significantly thereafter, with 22,216 miles recorded between March 2024 and February 2026. This rapid accumulation of mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and heavy-duty hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, as high annual mileage often accelerates the wear of bushes, control arms, and brake discs. The record does not flag specific structural corrosion or binding calipers, but the age-mileage ratio necessitates a check for premature fatigue on the subframe and mounting points. The windscreen should also be evaluated now to ensure the previously noted damage from 2022 has not propagated into the driver's field of vision, which would eventually necessitate a failure.
